Warmth, Giant Black Toobs no.3

I took Sally to Volunteer Park on Friday afternoon to see version 4 of this amazing installation. Sally was singularly unimpressed, but walking among these giant, undulating pieces was so amazing as to be hard to describe. They reminded me of hair, fingers, sea anemone, surreal landscape memories.

I realized later that I had only taken the smallest amount of time to wonder about how they work (somehow solar powered), allowing myself instead to just enjoy being in their presence.
