Description
An homage to Bowie, a car-rocket on a red-and-blue balloon, an astronaut from the dawn of the automobile, an ironic nostalgia for the future. In dark cosmic space drifts a 1930s red-and-blue classic convertible suspended from a red-and-white hot-air balloon; in the driver's seat sits a female astronaut in a yellow helmet; at the bottom of the canvas a sliver of blue Earth.
