This was a personal project that I undertook to honor the nostalgia of the space shuttle program and the sense of wonder it inspired in me as a child. The colors are bright, the forms simple and toylike, and the textures reminiscent of my 1980s childhood. I was inspired by visits to the Air and Space Museum in DC, close to where I grew up: innumerable wanderings through the halls of the Smithsonian where my brother and I marveled over astronaut ice cream, Buckyballs, and the mysteries of the cosmos.
