The large deep blue starfield cyanotype is made using the cyanotype photographic method. Cyanotype is an early photographic method where the paper is hand coated and dried and is then exposed to UV light converting the iron into a deep permanent cyan color. This early method was used as a botanical recording method in the field because it was easy to expose and make documents of plants.
The starfield is printed from a large film negative on 100% cotton French watercolor paper. This particular print comes framed in a deep shadow box dark charcoal wood frame, float framed to show the natural deckle edge of the paper. It can be hung either horizontally or vertically . Piece would make a nice ‘window’ above a bed or any space that you would like a meditative calm space.
Framed artwork measures 40” x 73”

This wind tunnel model is unusual in that it has the original mounting bar that they used as they were creating the aircraft. From what I have researched it is most likely an X-type model prototype. The model is made of steel and aluminum with signs of bondo type sculpting compound used to shape certain areas as they were testing the aerodynamics. The. bar has all the small wires that were attached to the craft to collect data. This model is most likely from the late 1950’s—quite a heavy piece the model alone weighs 35lbs. I have acquired other wind tunnel testing components listed separately. All of these came from a collector and were acquired from NASA AMES wind tunnel testing facility.
Measures: 13” W x 42” L on base 44” H
