SAND 21: “Archaeology of Water and Air”
To mark a decade of publishing SAND, we are calling 2020 our “year of archaeology” and have filled this issue with a mix of new discoveries and excavated favorites. And in the midst of a pandemic, we’ve gotten to know the pieces even more intimately, seeing them in a surreal light we could not have imagined when we began this issue. Both water and air are transparent, but they’re not neutral. They each filter the light. Who knows what medium – what water, what air – will filter this issue for you?
