Yesterday I popped into
the de Young Museum to check out the exhibit of Gottfried
Lindauer’s Maori Portraits. As
always, it’s the under-hyped shows like this one that tend be best at the de
Young. It’s up until April 1st
and worth seeing. They are running a
brief film, as I wandered into the screening room the first thing I saw was Hokianga Harbour. It is one of my favorite places on the
planet. I have been a few times in the
winter. I stayed in a swell motel where
I was able to watch the water, the clouds and intermittent rain sweep in all
day off the Tasman. I can’t believe it
has been over 20 years.
And then there was
something new from New Zealand waiting for me in my P.O. Box. The latest in a series of incredible mail art
from Robin Sparrow. This postcard arrived safely in a cellophane
envelope protecting the hand-embroidered San Francisco scene on the back. I love it, including the Year of the
Dog postage stamp.
