In Search of Cygnus is an ongoing project stemming from an artist's residency investigating the theme of starlight, and in particular the star constellation Cygnus. As I live in London and the star constellations are often not visible due to light pollution, I looked for other swan related items I could see instead, and I have been collecting photos of discarded swan cigarette filter packaging for a few years now. I make a note of the location and date they are found, so I can catalogue them like stars.This 'cluster' were all found in Peckham South East London, where I live.

I am interested in how we use the connections we have on earth to understand the world beyond. Animals, including swans, are often used to help describe the stars, constellations and other cosmic matter and give explanations as to why they are there (this is the where it fits with the ‘interconnected’ theme).'
