I’m a fan of Palo Alto ceramicist Laura Jacobson (whose brother Mark was a year behind me at Gunn but 12 places ahead of me on the tennis ladder). I checked out some of her new work at her Palo Alto studio, on Transport, near San Antonio and East Charleston, where Terry also has a studio, Sunday open studios.

Just now something flashed the search-engines about H.R. Giger passing, the Swiss artist most people think of, if they know him at all, for “Aliens”. (And I just saw him and his work in a recent documentary about Dojorowsky’s Dune, and mentioned this to another neighborhood artist Lessa Bouchard, who also saw the film).

Here is a link to a famous album cover by Giger, from 1974, Emerson Lake and Palmer, “Brain Salad Surgery”

Laura recently hung at Stanford neuroscience a set of work based on MRI images, if that connection works for you.
