Flying Over Time Collection
Lindy, 16" x 24", Mixed-Media and Sepia Wash on Recycled Canvas (Recycled Frame), 2010, by Nova Hall. Provenance: The foundational piece of the Original Flying Over Time Art Collection. Exhibited at Arizona State University (ASU); Challenger Space Center (presented to the Lindbergh Foundation Board); Florida Lindbergh Dinner (Fantasy of Flight); and multiple museum and gallery tours including Flagstaff, AZ.

Lindy is the genesis—the experimental, foundational masterwork that birthed the entire Flying Over Time Collection. Measuring 16 by 24 inches, the canvas features a haunting, closely cropped portrait of Charles Lindbergh, his iconic flight goggles reflecting the weight of the Atlantic crossing. Executed in 2010 with the direct, hands-on mentorship of Leandro Soto, the piece is drenched in a masterful sepia wash that evokes the fragile, aging reality of 1920s newsprint. Utilizing Robert Rauschenberg’s assemblage techniques, authentic 1927 text and imagery from the Donald A. Hall Estate Archive are embedded directly into the substrate. Housed in a recycled frame true to the Arte Povera tradition, Lindy strips away the polished myth of the aviator, presenting a raw, exhausted hero inextricably linked to the engineer's archived history.
