project drawings

 

 

These works were my first intuitive attempts to visualize the deployment of the O.U.R.S. in orbit. They were done in 1986 before I had established any technical contacts with the space industry. The works exhibitited in my stand display at Space Commerce'86 which took place in Montreux, Switzerland. Each work is a mixed-media collage of original drawing on paper, painted Mylar, pencil and metallic pen mounted on black paper.

"There are so many benefits to be derived from space exploration and exploitation; why not take what seems to me the only chance of escaping what is otherwise the sure destruction of all that humanity has struggled to achieve for 50,000 years?"
