The Meteorite Hunter is an archive of a search for meteorites and the places they come from. The work is based on the impulse to search for the ‘other’ within the everyday. Using the notion of the Meteorite as a metaphor for the fantastical hidden with in the everyday, the body of work is a document of a hunt to locate the ethereal and sublime in the mundane and banal.

Alexandra’s intreats is in the relationship between the imagined and reality and the parallels that exist between the two. Within this series, I explored the idea of a Meteorite Hunter – someone who is committed to the art of finding space rocks. Their job entails searching for a glimpse of a translunary guest, a clue to something that tells us more about who we are and where we come from.
