What did I miss?

While many friends journeyed towards the path of totality, I stayed in San Francisco for this week’s eclipse.  The skies brightened up briefly about 9:45 a.m. but then the fog thickened.  I need to use up the postal service’s cool Total Eclipse of the Sun postage stamps.  Today some mail art is heading out, inspired by San Francisco’s fogclipse on Monday.

La Luna

La Luna, mixed media, reverse collage on plexi, 6”x6”

The effects of last weekend’s annular eclipse still have not worn off.   Going up to the nearly empty shore of Pyramid Lake in the Nevada desert was the perfect place for the event.   Yesterday I was sorting out some of my older work and came across La Luna — one of my reverse collages from an earlier series.  Appropriately there is a little bit of Yma Sumac embedded in the collage.  No desert road trip is complete without Yma.
