Last night’s powerful storm in SW Iowa (tornadoes, wind, hail) slid along about 15 miles (24 km) north of my house. We saw lots of lightning, but we still had starry skies above.

Unsui (Mirror) by Sanford Biggers, Desert X 2025, Coachella Valley, California
Sanford Biggers is a multimedia artist whose practice encompasses painting, sculpture, video, photography, music, and performance. As an artistic intermediary, he disrupts established narratives, weaving U.S. history into broader global frameworks. By remixing cultural symbols and intervening in historical forms, he complicates collective mythologies and reimagines traditions. His work reflects personal experiences, from his early engagement with graffiti art in Los Angeles to his time living in Japan, shaping his ability to bridge disparate cultural and historical contexts.
