About this artwork
This work is glitter on paper, in a shallow shadowbox frame with frosted glass, with the word "SPUTNIK" and an image the Sputnik satellite and a radio tower frosted in the glass. This frosting creates a very focused view on the glitter the comes through, and frames the context of the image under.
I have always been fascinated with the Sputnik satellite...not only because it was so mind-boggling that this could exist and be shot in space, but it… looked like something right out of a Sci-fi comic book, or H.G. Wells novel.
This grouping of work, which I am calling COVERT/OVERT, touches upon so many things that were happening culturally and politically in the 1960s. There was a huge counter-culture, fashion culture, and all wrapped up in a bow with a nice side of Cold War.
