Artist statement: “I’ve always been fascinated with space… mainly in the fact that we are infinitesimally small and that you can see so many stars, moons, and planets that (for almost all of human history) have been completely impossibly unreachable. The Apollo missions were a tremendous step towards humans exploring the cosmos. To be selected as one of the few makers who were tasked with building a part of the 50th anniversary recreation of the Apollo hatch was incredibly amazing. I am super stoked to be a part of celebrating mankind’s extraterrestrial endeavors!”
