I think I met Samantha Lee an artist, and shot a swede of one of the works hanging, in a boutique on Grant at North Beach. She did write her name or URL somewhere. I think the below is one of the works or very similar.

It says it is called “Scuba”, although I said it was a space-suit when I commented on it.

Reminds me of an artist or part of a duo I met on Hayes a whiles ago (and wrote about a few times) Sandra Wang who is part with Crocket Bodelson of SCUBA. I think they are down in Santa Fe these days.

I like both of their work and hope to see more.

This is the work “side ride” by the artist(s) Scuba, including Sandra Wang:

Terry, my Terry, Terry Acebo Davis, the artist and commissioner, with Sandra Wang of SCUBA and Crocket. I took this. I wrote this:

I shot this. I wrote this

This is definitely Terry Acebo Davis, at House of Nanking, Sunday, August 10, 2014

I know this is the artist I met yesterday but am unsure if I have matched her to whatever I found on the web.

And this is a work she said she made, I believe her, but I forget the title or misplaced the note she wrote:

This looks pretty much like the same scuba as the very top, right?

    Great image, but dis ain’t scuba! It’s a deep-sea diving rig, not self-contained. Shades of “The Wake of the Red Witch” with John Wayne, or “Beneath the 12-Mile Reef” with (one of my favorite actors) Gilbert Roland and (shudder) Robert Wagner at his worst. -jay (First certified in real scuba in 1961, recertified in 1991 — all gear had changed — when the instructor dubbed me a “scubasaurus.”)
