This is an outdoor installation for a sculpture event in the wooded park surrounding the Art Center. Traveling a quiet area along a path, one came upon this simple well. Upon looking inside, the brilliant blue reflection at the bottom gives the viewer a beautifully odd reflection of the sky and trees above – an unexpected substitution for dark water. The interior of the well glowed from the same vivid blue reflection. It was a mysterious piece was so different from what one normally expects from a well.
