About the work: (16) Psyche orbits around the Sun in the asteroid belt and, over its many billion years, has likely been hit by many smaller objects. With its potentially high metal content, the surface may be littered with craters, which may be rimmed by massive sheets and pillars of metal. I attempted an artistic interpretation of the surface, drawing some inspiration from the landscapes of southern Utah and Arizona.
