solar eclipse, woodblock prints on Kitakata Paper pasted onto Rives BFK Paper, with graphite, 24 inches x 29 inches, August 2026
Our moon is about 400 times smaller than the sun, but it is also 400 times closer to Earth. This makes the two appear to be the same size from our point of view. The sun, moon and Earth are locked in a gravitational dance around one another, and when these three align, we bear witness to a solar eclipse.
