Where No Woman Has Gone Before
is inspired by the real-life experiences of
Helen Sharman
, the first British astronaut.
Until Helen blasted off on her very own star trek, no woman had ever visited the Mir space station.
Where No Woman Had Gone Before
was commissioned by leading out-of-home media company
Alight Media
. It is one of a series of artworks presented under the banner
Brought to Light.
This artwork makes both a playful reference to gender and the profoundly serious point that women are trailblazers, pioneers, experts, and 'herstory' makers.
