Stargaze

Stargaze represents a stunning convergence of natural heritage and contemporary innovation in this monumental 108-inch tall sculptural installation. This one-of-a-kind fine art piece transforms Texas Mountain Cedar into a towering contemporary sculpture that commands attention in any sophisticated interior space.

Created through an intensive mixed-media process, this floor sculpture combines the organic beauty of sustainably sourced Texas Mountain Cedar with meticulously hand-painted paper elements, premium acrylic paint, strategic nail placement, and high-grade resin finishing. The collaboration with Dallas neon artist Trent Atkinson introduces custom neon lighting that transforms the piece into an illuminated artwork, creating dramatic ambient lighting perfect for luxury residential spaces, corporate collections, or gallery exhibitions.

The vertical composition emphasizes the natural grain and character of the Texas Mountain Cedar while contemporary painted elements create striking visual contrast. Custom neon integration by Trent Atkinson adds a dynamic lighting component that enhances the sculptural qualities during both day and evening viewing. The piece is professionally mounted on a custom steel base, ensuring stability and museum-standard presentation.

This large-scale contemporary sculpture exemplifies the intersection of Texas craftsmanship and modern artistic vision, making it an ideal centerpiece for collectors seeking investment-quality artwork with regional significance and contemporary relevance. The substantial dimensions (108h x 18w x 18d inches) make this piece suitable for high-ceiling spaces, corporate lobbies, luxury residences, or gallery installations.

Part of Christi Meril’s acclaimed body of work exploring the relationship between natural materials and urban inspiration, “Stargaze” offers collectors a unique opportunity to acquire a significant contemporary sculpture that bridges traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge artistic innovation.
