SIX SKIES explores what happens when details from museum objects are no longer confined to the scale in which we usually encounter them.

I selected six Open Access works from The Met, each carrying a distinct ornamental language from a different culture, and reimagined their patterns at architectural scale.

Instead of remaining on a ceramic object, stained-glass window, tile, jar, or dish, each ornament temporarily takes over the same ceiling inside The Met.

I imagined the ceiling as a projection or holographic installation: one architectural space capable of revealing different histories through light, pattern, and scale. Armenian — Egg-Shaped Ornament https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/478391
