[Excerpt from T'zai Shinoban's 'Beginners Guide to Extraterrestrials, Second Edition']

"...Bahaghari space exists in an envelope outside our galaxy's space-time where all matter is smaller on an atomic level. The organic life forms native to this region are the tiniest sentient space faring creatures yet encountered. As their bodies cannot convert our oxygen molecules, and their ship's engines cannot function in space as we know it, they have devised a pulse/warp drive to explore outside their realm. In this manner Bahaghari ships never fully enter our space-time stream, rather they travel to a specific area and "open a window" between our dimensions so they may observe from a position of relative safety. Communication has not yet been established; the Bahaghari are so named by famed physicist Diwata Syjuco who first observed this phenomenon. She painted this piece after a chance encounter with one of their miniscule crafts...."

Reclaimed 20 gauge aluminum has been hand cut into a free-form ameboid shape, and hand hammered for dimension and rigidity. All edges have been manually filed and a hand made hanging bracket is attached to the back.
The position of the bracket in relation to the art is weighted so the UFO is generally at the top of the composition. However, due to the hole-punch hanging we like to use, depending on the wall we hung it on the angle of display could be adjusted. Essentially, since this isn't a square wall piece there is no "right" or "wrong" way to display it, it can even be carefully rested on a shelf or mantle!

I used artist's acrylics in multiple layers to create the pulsing, space effect. Some of the lines have a slight metallic sheen. The UFO is in shades of blue, and the dome reflects the orange background. Both tiny alien cats have a touch of pearlescent paint, and the craft and aliens are lightly outlined with silver.

Clear coated with Semi Gloss.

Measurements are taken from the back of the piece
