OPUS VI: PAINTING THE MOON
Executed 2025
Opus VI manifests the Chamberlain technique—a sculptural draping style where calico and paper nylon tulle are collapsed and crushed to mimic the industrial dynamism of John Chamberlain’s metalwork. These architectural forms are overlaid with fluid silk organza to create a revolutionary silhouette. This dialogue between rigid destruction and delicate transparency is set against works inspired by Zdzisław Beksiński’s haunting imagery and the fragmented collages of Robert Rauschenberg
MOODBOARD
Painting the Moon manifests the spirit of the 1969 “Moon Museum,” where fine art meets lunar exploration. This work channels the essence of six pioneers—Warhol, Rauschenberg, Novros, Chamberlain, Oldenburg, and Myers—whose legacies remain on the lunar surface. Utilizing the Chamberlain technique to transform tulle into “crushed” masterworks, the narrative journeys from the skeletal silhouettes of Beksiński to Rauschenberg’s assemblages. It is a tribute to the artist as a pioneer, where the fragility of silk meets the stars.
