Birth is a Dancing Star Silkscreen by Sister Carita Kent, measures 11 7/8'' square, framed in a glass and metal frame, this colorful silkscreen print combines Corita Kent's colorful art work with a quote from Nietzsche: ''You must carry a chaos inside you to give birth to a dancing star.'' The print is framed inside two pieces of glass creating a light, airy look, and then framed with a black frame with gold highlights. The print is marked Ed 200 and signed by the artist in pencil.
