As the art show is rapidly approaching, I realized that I don’t really have much that speaks to the theme of ‘love’. I have been playing a lot of Astroneer lately and am generally obsessed with space and the like, so I decided to whip up this astronaut piece that I instantly fell in love with (no pun intended).

Generally, I do not use precreated elements for my work (printed parts, confetti, etc.) but once I created this piece, I knew I had to add one of my favorite phrases, “I love you to the Moon and back”. The only way I felt that this could be best executed was through print, so despite much internal struggle, I whipped up this small little plate to add to the piece that I really feel ties it all together.

I used some nice shimmery texture paper for the blue elements and space suit as well as a small piece of mirror paper for the helmet.
