Mixed media --Acrylic on found wood and paper Based on a West African folktale, this painted construction shares the pourquoi story of why the sun and moon live in the sky. Wondering why their friend Water never came to their house to visit, Sun and Moon insist he visit them. In order to show his respect for his friends, Water pays them a visit, but, since Water is so plentiful, he quickly floods their house, sending Sun and Moon first to the roof and eventually up into the sky to avoid drowning.
