Flares to Mission Control
Personal Stories Series

16 x 22 x 8 inches
Paper mache, styrofoam, 3 raisins, aluminum foil, matches, wire, paper, paint, wood, glass
"Originally the materials for this piece consisted of paper mache, 1 lime, 3 penne pastas, 3 raisins, aluminum foil, matches, paper, wood, and glass, all dusted with flour for a dusty lunar surface. Note to self: Do not enclose food items in glass. For a while, I was tempted to call this piece Mold Overtakes The First Lunar Colony. It's all better now."

The Artist's Sketchbook has an early sketch of this piece still in the conceptual stages. To see it, click on the Sketch link.
