KIKI SMITH - BLUE NIGHT

Blue Night depicts 42 suspended elements created by Kiki Smith. The mirrored renderings will reflect light through a transparent blue background; holographic vinyl denotes the stars that comprise the actual constellations. The artist was inspired by the constellation drawings from the late 17th century by Johannes Hevelius and others.

“In ancient times it was believed that the sky was somewhere between heaven and earth,” said Smith. “It’s great to be able to present light, hope, and joy for so many to experience.”

This work was sponsored by the City of Coral Gables, FL. Obelisk fabricated all aspects of this project.
