This constellation is a combination two Summer collages originating in Noah Travis Phillips’ “Studio Walls” practice, and was developed through a dynamic and reflective process over two years, returning to the previous year's imagery to further grow/develop those themes. Two of Phillips' movable studio walls functioned as provisional architectures for this image “constellation,” a term the artist uses to describe compositions in which discrete elements maintain both autonomy and interrelationship. The imagery engages the emotional and utopian dimensions of the posthuman, alongside metaphysical and art historical references – counterbalanced by more surreal, speculative, and occasionally even whimsical imagery and symbols. They collage the quotidian and the mythic, the subjective and the universal, the personal and the political.
