STELLATED MOON, 2008
22" x 30", Acrylic on paper, $7,500
KALTENBACH ANNOTATIONS:
This ambitious Lunar Work is to be created by huge 'earth' moving
equipment, bulldozing the moon's surface into this geometric form: a stellated
polyhedron. This is clearly a problematic project in any number of ways; not the
least of which is the budget that will be so great as to require the diversion
of the entire Earth's military defense budget for the next few thousand years.
The facets of this sculptural work should be carefully rendered and colored as shown. This transformation may be considered to be too hard-edge contemporary to kindle much romantic moonlight dalliance but that is not an immediate concern; it is, after all, quite difficult to get these big projects funded.
