Space Pilot. The main component of this Space Pilot assemblage, my newest work at the time, is a motorcycle engine cover. Its unusual shape inspired me to create an astronaut floating in space.
I used Swarovski crystals to create a starry sky. Against the black background, they seem to glow like distant stars. I also invented a planet to fill part of the composition, and the space pilot appears to be travelling directly towards it.
This Space Pilot assemblage combines found objects with sparkling details to create an imaginative scene from outer space.
Materials:
Body – a motorcycle engine cover.
