About the Work:
“The Crew” is a mixed media painting of a Star Trek inspired uniform for all of the Psyche “crew” members: every person that has and continues to make the Psyche mission possible. It is an acrylic painting on canvas with fabric sewn on top complete with a painted metal Psyche insignia. The colors on the uniform are inspired by the official Psyche logo, and its design mimics the officer jackets seen in Star Trek. The canvas is designed to be held in front, so you can “try it on,” wearing the uniform yourself. In my fourth and final project, after exploring the asteroid, satellite, and path in my previous works, I wanted to highlight every Psyche team member. While I would love to complete portraits of everyone involved, time would not allow. However, creating a “uniform” that anyone can wear allows past, present, and future Psyche crew members to be included and appreciated.
