Chrysler Building by Mike Major
Layered embossing of Arches paper,
embossed and hand cut (three layers),
framed. Value: $1,500
The Chrysler Building embossing was
created as part of Mike’s Masters degree
work at Pratt Institute in New York. This
was a time when his interest in 2-D work
was moving toward 3-D work that would
eventually lead to bronze sculpture.
As a life-long student of architectural
design, Mike finds this particular building
particularly fascinating as it continues
to stand out among so many NYC
skyscrapers. He says, “Personally this
piece represents the inspiration gained
during the period when Jane and I lived in
New York.”
