This work was specifically made for an exhibition called Cielos, meaning "skies", at Salón Comunal in Bogotá. Since I was living in Chicago pursuing an MFA at the School of The Art Institute of Chicago, I researched in the collection of the museum and selected 17 works that included the word "sky", then printed a small xerox copy of each one, abstracted the form of the skies on the images and then painted them in navy blue acrylic on paper. The work becomes a portable collection of skies that can travel easily on a binder and a commentary on accessibility to art archives. The closing hour refers to a moment of the day when the Sky both in Chicago and Bogotá, turns into a lilac color.
