peppering

Got to get out of town this weekend. Get away. Maybe go to a place where words burn.

Above is a work at the Hess Collection Gallery in Napa. It was done in 1974 by Leopoldo Maler. The Hess website states that this piece "has a great deal of personal meaning for Maler...his uncle, a well-known Argentine writer, is believed to have been killed for the inflammatory content of his political essays. The old Underwood Typewriter that now emits flames in the place of words is of the same style that Mahler's uncle used during his esteemed career."
