Every fall is maggot season in northern Pacific Beach.
The rotting heaps of kelp belch a stench into the air that stings nostrils blocks away. The sand crawls over beachgoers’ toes as millions of maggots writhe in the tide line. And when the tide recedes, like a horrific disappearing act, so do the maggots.
Disregarding the Norm: Maryann Luera

The matador lies on his stomach beneath the rich ruby hues of what appears to be his cape. He is adorned in his traditional ivory suit, heavily ornamented with gold embroidery.
The deep folds of his cape envelop him. He gazes off the canvas with his hair falling into his face, pouting lips, and deep-set eyes. It took hours of layering paint to get his flesh to glow that way.
Students in SDSU’s art program usually refer to their teachers by their first names, but Maryann Luera is always “Ms. Luera.”
