NASA Astronaut Chimp

Date. 2022

Size. 40" aluminum round

Tools. Acrylic paint, sealant

​

This was originally made to commemorate Enos, Nasa's chimpanzee astronaut from 1961. I filled the background with plain gears, as not to take away from the detail of the aluminum. Then I hand-painted Enos in a more up-to-date NASA suit using acrylic paints.
