Water on the moon! The quote below makes it almost sound like a piece of art:

The moon is so intriguing, but humans will not visit it again until after 2020. So far only 12 men have walked on the moon. Interestingly, there was this communication between Houston and the Apollo crew:

Watch for a lovely girl with a big rabbit. An ancient legend says a beautiful Chinese girl called Chang-o has been living there (on the moon) for 4000 years. It seems she was banished to the moon because she stole the pill for immortality from her husband.

Meanwhile, we can dream and ponder the mystery of the moons in our artwork. While the reality of science is important, the Man in the Moon still holds some fascination. The waxing and waning of the moon in appearance makes room for multiple interpretations. Psychologically, pareidolia is term used for seeing vague/random things in something as significant (ie… images in the moon).

In our Solar System, the number of moons seem to vary from 146 – 170, with Jupiter having the most (approximately 63). One of my Arborglyph monoprints alludes to FOUR MOONS. In this monoprint I inked / printed 4 ‘found’ metal surfaces (collagraph plates) that vaguely resembled “faces” or “phases of the moon”.
