About the Work
"This
is
one
of
11
works
by
John
Bailey
that
document
the
movement
of
light
on
the
Winter
Solstice
and
Spring
Equinox
within
the
interior
of
the
room.
Like

#1,
Utah,
2001
and
Pine’s
Ring
Piece
1979,
this
work
by
Bailey
involves
existing
architecture.
I
enjoy
viewing
the
Winter
Solstice/Spring
Equinox
’83
series
as
a
whole
–
I
find
their
variability
and
progressive
movement
to
be
serene."
