h5. Any other relevant detail/s:

My goal for this mission is to make some artwork that interprets my experiences at MDRS: I'd like to understand more about the role of astronauts, contained spaces and extreme environments. Its a field trip for me, and I will work to design an arts-based project which I hope to use to collaborate with cosmonauts / astronauts. My aim is to directly address the human factors in extended travel particularly sensory deprivation, boredom and isolation.

h4. *Passionate about Mars because:*

{color:#000000}My interest in Mars is an optimistic one - I believe the future of the human race relies on exploration of space and I also believe that art as a way of understanding and transforming experience, has a significant role to play; {color}
