We met up in Riverside for brunch, a stroll around the Mission Inn, and a visit to the Cheech Marin Museum of Chicano Art & Culture. What a treat!
It might be worth going down there just to see this work. “Einar and Jamex De La Torre’s two-story lenticular installation projects an animated image of the burly Aztec Earth goddess Coatlicue, who shape-shifts into a transformer-like machine made out of lowrider Chevy Impalas.
