Pillars of Creation is a photograph taken by the Hubble Telescope of interstellar gas and dust within the Eagle Nebula. The gas and dust are in the process of creating new stars, yet are also being destroyed by stars which exist nearby. These images were originally created by Zoltan Levy, the Imaging Group Lead at the Space Telescope Science Institute. This project follows on from the project Pillars of Creation, Lenticular Print, where I analyse the sophisticated image composite techniques used by NASA and the European Space Agency. Within these scientific institutions, layers of light frequencies and colours are combined to create one image. Here, I used the CMYK Screen Print process to replicate this image composite technique using the analogue CMYK screen printing method.
