I like "Flipped Earth" by Neo Reynolds (?), one of his imaginary artists. She used the 20' long mirror to reflect the image of the sky in the ground, so it is as if you are looking down the sky. I like the concept of using sky to cleanse barren ground. Below are the pictures from ted.com There are no diagonal lines in the original pictures.
A couple of days ago, I posted "Sky above Clouds" by Georgia O'Keeffe. I commented that nobody can see anything below clouds; the horizon reflects more of eternity. What I was impressed about the US when I came first time was its vast sky, which I felt could swallow everything on the earth, including me. Now Shea's imaginary female artist uses sky to cleanse earth, mother earth. Though Shea is a contemporary artist, his imaginary artist uses a very traditional archetypal approach.
I'd like to share one more picture that I took in January 2009 in my yard. Again I was impressed with the Big Sky, but here frozen branches spread out to the sky for warm air so that they can restore their life; they were frozen all day, though.
Right now I am stuck with the sky. I will go back to the topic of wind turbines soon.
