Just Turn It On Series

Finishing up large upcycled Styrofoam work. The name of the series comes from Coldplay’s song Miracles’ line “don’t go to war with yourself, just turn it on!” which is great advice for artists.

Also, these literally turn on with multi-color LED lights. The painted columns are affective without lights as well. The Sky Canopy is not painted. In the canopy, a strong blue light illuminates the semi-transparent, multifaceted, almost liquid structure of the EPS. Sky Canopy is still in progress and will mount higher. The columns/towers, Gray and Purple Columns need a few touch ups and to be attached to their wood bases.

Mondrian TV (see Master Reproductions below) was 37 x 60 in and sold in 2020, the largest work so far, and also based on TV packaging.

Manufacturers seem to have reduced the amount of TV packaging they use, or perhaps, just break it up so it seems like less? I think these 5 pieces (Gemini is two pieces put together) packaged two TVs.
