It’s so nice to see this custom photographic print installed in the office of the lovely aerospace engineer, Giorgia Lera. The photo is of a clothing sculpture I made in 2016, called Night Sky. It was printed in Italy and mounted to a Dibond panel and cradled. As you can see, we went big! Here is what she had to say about this piece of textile art:
“I felt a sense of quiet joy when I first saw “Night Sky” in a magazine and I was really fascinated by how it was made. When we moved into our new engineering office, I immediately knew that I wanted a big “Night Sky” print behind my desk. Our company (Lafer Spa in Italy) makes machines that process fabrics, so Derick’s work made perfect sense in our environment.”
Giorgia initially reached out in 2019, after seeing my work in a magazine. We are not sure which one, but it may have been Hive Life.
Above is the original photo. Learn more about the actual sculpture, here.
