Handcrafted with charcoal pencils and sticks on white paper, Marina Fridman's massive installation "Omniscient Body" is actually a single, enormous drawing. The piece, at 74-feet-by-14-feet, is installed at the Fosdick-Nelson Gallery at Alfred University, as part of the artist's MFA thesis exhibition. The celestial forms offer a chance "to approach the celestial body of Mars at their own scale, to be towered over by one of the rings of Saturn, and to look up at planet Earth and the Moon as though from a great distance."
