Universe Unfurling was an artist challenge titled “Boxed In.” The project honors the night sky as I am an avid proponent of dark skies. Light pollution significantly impacts our ability to see the Milky Way, with one-third of the global population and eighty percent in North America unable to view it due to artificial sky glow. In addition to obscuring astronomical observations, artificial lighting impedes animal migration and disrupts human circadian rhythms. It is also an homage to a beloved uncle.  My materials were an attractive box, a painting that begged to be repurposed, and a glow-in-the-dark starfish painted by Uncle Alex. I painted the box, cut the painting into squares, designed a sequence for the squares, painted parts of each square with glow-in-the-dark paint, and created a chain. Photographing the dark view was part of the experimental process. TURN OUT THE LIGHTS!

I Spy a Roadrunner Eye is created from a plastic car part found on the side of Catalina Highway and collaged with torn magazine and calendar pages. One of the calendars had roadrunner images which are incorporated into the collage. In the richest nation in the world with effective and dependable services for hauling away trash, it’s convenient to not consider where stuff goes when discarded. I highly value reusing and repurposing what I can.
