“Putting on My Spacesuit” is a Museum Quality Glicée Fine Art Print based on an original Mixed Media painting made with a vintage fashion magazine clippings wearing designer Pierre Cardin’s 1968 fashion reimagined into art with acrylic paint, oil based paint pens, words of wisdom, and resin on canvas.
This print captures the imaginative fashion inspired by space exploration and the first lunar landing in 1969, reimagined for our current times and dynamics over a half century later.
TODAY I AM TORN BETWEEN PUTTING ON MY SPACESUIT AND LEAVING THIS EARTHLY WORLD WITH SO MANY EARTHLY PROBLEMS IN SEARCH OF A NEW PLANET, NEW HOPE, INSPIRATION, A NEW PLACE TO CALL HOME. LIGHT YEARS AWAY IN A GALAXY WE CAN’T EVEN FATHOM WITH OUR LIMITED HUMAN BRAINS AND IMAGINATION. OR STAYING PUT AND SETTING OFF ON AN EXPEDITION TO EXPLORE THE MIRROR OF MY OWN EXPANSIVE INNER GALAXY OF THOUGHTS, EMOTIONS, IDEAS, AND CONTRADICTIONS TO SEE IF I CAN REACH THE FURTHEST CORNERS OF MY MIND TO TRY TO UNDERSTAND THE DEPTHS, EDGES, AND LIMITS, MEANING, AND PURPOSE OF IT ALL. OR PERHAPS THERE IS NO MEANING TO FIND BOTH INSIDE AND FAR BEYOND AS THAT IS JUST ANOTHER HUMAN CONSTRUCT DESIGNED TO COMFORT. OR PERHAPS I AM JUST IN SEARCH OF A MOMENT OF REST. JUST SOME PEACE AND QUIET FROM ALL OF THE NOISE. BUT JUST FOR A MOMENT BEFORE I GET BACK UP WITH A SENSE OF RENEWED ENERGY AND PURPOSE TO DO WHAT I KNOW IS JUST AND RIGHT IN SERVICE OF OTHERS FOR THE GREATER GOOD OF HUMANITY AND OUR COLLECTIVE AND CONNECTED FUTURE BECAUSE AS SOON AS WE ALL REALIZE THAT WE ARE ALL MORE SIMILAR THAN DIFFERENT WE WILL ALL BE BETTER OFF FOR INFINITE GENERATIONS TO COME.
