Shinola by Lindsay Lochman and Barbara Ciurej

$35.00
Midwesterners Ciurej and Lochman present a dream narrative based on their unexpected encounter with the seductive light and impossible vistas of the Southwest.

This much we know...Long, long ago, phantasmagoric voyagers traveled through time, thrumming with the energy of the Big Bang. We recognize kinship and yearn to connect with these unencumbered creatures of light. Sightings were reported—split second glimpses, like lightening in the desert monsoon. We call out to them in silvery voices. We park our vehicles, scan the skies, and await electrifying deliverance.
