Spell of the Sensuous. Ch 1.

In chapter one Abram writes about a moment when he notices the stars reflected in pools of water in between rice paddies. He describes an environment in which there is vastness in nature. My response was an attempt to re-create another environment in nature in which there is a sense of vastness. I was very inspired by the point in which the sky and ground meet at the horizon. Using mirrors I created a mini-ice cave environment. There is something very peaceful quiet about vastness in nature; fresh snow on a cold winters night, reflection in pools of water and sky, even the connection of ocean and sky and forests that seem as if they go on forever.
