A portrait of the heavens on a catenary dome of fabric, this work depicts the sky above the antipode (location on the opposite side of the globe) of Minneapolis. The work is located atop a seven story glass tower at where it functions as an urban-scaled mirror-ball, reflecting light by way of more than 500,000 “stars” made of mirror polished aluminum. To embroider and sew it required the dexterity and skill of a couturier.
