To the participants and support staff that make the MWP possible...

“I’ve heard it said, that people come into our lives for a reason, bringing something we must learn…�
from the Broadway musical WICKED

"Tribute/Thank You"

Bursting with color,
energy, compassion,
impatience, gentleness.

Changing with curiosity –
growing, responding,
believing, attempting.

Amazing in delicacy,
vibrancy, mystery,
intricacy, vulnerability.

Offering with courage,
hope, boldness,
fear, tears.

Gifts.

What caught my eye about this piece was its use of space. At first glance, it looks like a collection of circular mirrors across the floor, similar to dimes and knickles strewn across the bottom of a stream. Yet, even that is an interesting statement of space in its use of the floor, not the wall, as the focus of our gaze. Then, once the lights are turned on, shining down on the fish line jutting out of the wall, a collection of oval discs appear on the wall. The orchestratoin of the coins, fish line and oval tears of light create a swirling effect.

Also of interest is how the place of significance, the wall reveals an image made possible only through a revising of our traditional notions of the frame. The piece involves a reconceptualization of space to include multiple planes such as the floor, ceiling, wall, and intersecting diagnals of light. Perhaps this taps into why it is called "installation art."
