Frank Borman and fellow Apollo VIII astronauts Anders and Lovell were the first to see the “far side” of the Moon. The topography is different than that of the “front”. I chose to show Borman with the never seen view of the Moon.

Techniques

Whole cloth silk, painted with acrylic paint and Dynaflow directly onto the silk. It was quilted on a movable machine.

Materials

Silk, 80/20 batting, cotton back, polyester thread.
