Description
I wanted to do this piece because I feel strongly that the work that Carolyn and others like her have contributed to the body of knowledge of humanity should be celebrated.
It is done in the style of art nouveau, and pays homage to Carolyn as a self-proclaimed child of the 60's. Within the work, you can find elements from her life. In the upper left is the Voyager spacecraft and in the upper right is Cassini. In the lower left is Enceladus and the lower right Titan. In her lap rests Carl Sagan's work of fiction "Contact"; Carolyn served as the consultant on the character, Ellie, to the movie based on the book. Her sleeves are adorned with the Star Trek insignia; she also consulted on the 2009 Paramount Pictures "Star Trek" reboot. The center panel contains elements from the famous "Abbey Road" Beatles' album that she and her Cassini team re-created in 2001.
This piece was unveiled at the "Art of Space and Light" art show put on by the international Association of Astronomical Artists in Tucson, Arizona."
