Overview

Gaze into the night sky and marvel at the cosmos, at a new exhibition at the ARC One Gallery in the CBD. Cherry Springs is the latest solo show from New York-based Australian photo artist Sam Shmith, who has captured thousands of images of the starlit expanses about Pennsylvania's beautiful Cherry Springs State Park.

Appearing at ARC One from November 3 until December 5, the exhibition draws inspiration from a wide variety of artists, including writers Adam Gopnik and Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, photographers Wolfgang Tillmans and Paul Graham, and Hollywood filmmaker Steven Spielberg. Shmith was also influenced by the testimonies of astronauts and high altitude pilots, who have ventured to the edge of the Earth and beyond.
