Standing on the roof of my old house in London, and looking upwards into the dark skies, sometimes the moon seemed so close I felt could touch it.

These Moon Landing artworks explore our relationship and connection with nature, especially for those who live in cities. 
They are inspired by the beautiful book The Distance of the Moon* by Italo Calvino.
