"The eyes are organs of asking..."
"To see is to forget the name of the thing one sees.."
"It is not one image I seek, but the marvelous group of all possible images."
-Paul Valery

Of her bones are coral made
Those are pearls that were her eyes:
Nothing of her that doth fade
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange....
The Tempest

Her environment is accessibel and immediate, haunting yet hopeful. The viewer, surrounded by the objects, silently hears the space speak. As we walk under the large, protective tent, where children's shirts turn like small scarecrows, angels, or crucifixes over the ashen or greening earth, we realize our roles as actors, not audience, and hopefully take on the responsibility of ensuring the stories fruitful ending.
