"I like the idea of focusing on the Apollo missions. The gallery is one big room and I wanted the focus to be there. The paintings can work on their own or tell a story when shown together. The Apollo astronauts were the guys who slammed dunk the ball. It was always about getting to the moon." Michael Kagan
