The exhibit showcases the aesthetic quality of some of the National Air and Space Museum's iconic aircraft. With up-close facets, sculptural forms, and life-like elements, "In Plane View" directs viewers' attention to the often-overlooked simple elegance of aircraft design. Russo exposes the bold colors, textures, shapes, and patterns that characterize diverse flying machines and with her lens, transforms technology into art. Check it out at the Air Zoo!
