In anticipation of Perseverance landing safely on Mars today, I headed back in time with this mixed media piece I made in 2004 titled āHer Desher,ā as "the red one" was known in ancient Egypt. Ā Iāve made quite a bit of celestial-inspired art since my days of watching the shuttle launches and playing with my space LEGO. Ā Thereās very little indication that Iāll be growing out of this behavior. Ā And I still have said LEGO in case I feel the urge to celebrate that way. Ā
Mars made a more recent appearance in āThe Conversation.ā Ā It was visible above a moon cast red by a climate fire in San Diego's East County. Ā The crows are locals who had paid a visit to the back fence that afternoon while I watched the smoke billow.
