|
Openings are for stepping and seeing through ... to different places, new worlds, to new possibilities and new opportunities. When passing through they mark the passing. |
|||
| . | |||
|
"Curtains" This window installation piece is symbolic of the opening that each individual is that allows us to enter into another world - their world. |
|||
| . | |||
| "Conversations in the Woods" This piece forms a gateway or marker on our journey along the path. As we enter between the figures, we interrupt the conversation and become a part of it before we enter into the next phase of our travels. | |||
| . | |||
| "Support Circle Rainbow" Folks sitting on each others laps surround the circle in the middle, an opening for new possibities for relationship and accomplishment | |||
| . | |||
| "Temple of Possibility" There are openings in every direction! - a multitude of possibilities! | |||
| . | |||
| "Portal with View" The opening of this installation piece - the gateway, portal - frames and focuses our attention on a distant place (downtown Houston) and makes a visual connection to the place where we are standing (the park setting of the Houston Festival's Bayou Show). In the opposite direction a connection is made to Henry Moore's "Spindle Piece" | |||
| .. | |||
| "What"s That Voice I Hear?" Our eyes are the openings to the entire visual world. |
