Crotty’s piece incorporates small sketches of the night sky along with hand-written text based on a passage in the book where the monster discovers the moon and considers it his only friend. The robotic-like figure in this piece resembles a moon-rover or some other retro-futuristic machine that might explore planets and universes too distant for human travel.
