Ranu Mukherjee - When the Path Through the Atmosphere is Longer, 2021
UV inkjet print, silk and cotton sari cloth, laminated glass and aluminum composite

Dear friends,
Ranu Mukherjee's epic, eye-catching mixed-media work When the Path Through the Atmosphere is Longer was installed at SFO Airport's International Terminal G in February of this year.
"When the Path Through the Atmosphere is Longer is inspired by the feeling of being suspended in time and space during long-haul air travel and seeing two sunrises or sunsets in the same day. The image is collaged from printed sari cloth – a diasporic object that is rooted in Indian culture and suggests the movement of bodies. Included in the composition are depictions of the Arctic Tern, known for its long yearly migration, and the hummingbird, which is native to the Americas." (San Francisco Arts Commission)

Elements of this work were printed at Magnolia Editions in 2021; our neighbors Lenehan Architectural Glass also worked on the project.

NEW PUBLICATION: LEWIS DESOTO |
|
Tired of Eternity: An Autobiography by Coyote is an art piece in the form of a book, created by Lewis deSoto with a foreword by Nick Stone.
"Coyote, long thought to be a mythical being has come out of the shadows and written a gripping tale of his lives in outer space, nature and humanity. [...] Tired of Eternity challenges our ideas of time, existence, the nature of love and the size of the universe. Divided into chapters that alternate between a short narrative structure and complex formulas and proofs that cover some of physics' most complex problems, Coyote has mastered the art of the oblique and challenging description of a life not tethered by time or place..."
