This work is derived from the project I’ve titled Black Sun, which is an alias and not the actual name. I basically took a snippet from that work to make this work. The Black Sun artwork that I posted was a very early iteration of the work. While the finished work looks similar it’s a lot more, well, finished. Detailed, even. Electrifying, perhaps.
So, here’s a sort of sneak preview of the work. Instead of the eclipse being at totality (moon completely covering the sun), the sun is rising with a partial eclipse visible, on the horizon.
This is actually something I’ve personally witnessed. Seriously, if you have a chance to see a total eclipse; do it. Cancel the beach trip or the ski trip or whatever. Words and photos cannot begin to describe what it looks like, feels like (the air temp drops), and yes, sounds like (nocturnal critters begin to wake). It is otherworldly. I digress.
So, here’s the work for the Black Moon single that my son commissioned from me.
