The game of chess, a game for all ages, genders, races, and now planets. Weilding the post modern principal of repetition, I used layers of tissue paper cut and pasted to create a chessboard mimicing the sun and the moon, at the same time. Imitations of the planets represent the king, queen, rook, bishop, and knight, with tiny moons as the pawns. Each side is splattered with their respective colour, and, if all peices are present, the set is fully functional! As proven since my art teacher defeated me...
I made a planetary chess set of the base that both of these, are traditionally very nerdy things, that are overlooked partly by modern soceity.
