Portal No. 1 White Windows

Portal No. 1, White Windows

Acrylic on Wood, with LED Lights
60” x  60” x 3” (center piece)
60 ” x 24” x 3” (two side pieces)
60” x 160” x 3” (overall dimension)

This installation of Portal No. 1, White Windows, was designed for a particular wall with a low soffit overhead, so it has the feeling of being somewhat enclosed. It is most dramatic at nighttime, but works well in daylight hours, too.

My first drawing did not have an opening in the middle, and while the effect would have been good, I was after something more ethereal. The inner square opening (the portal) does that. The side panels stand guard, because it is a sacred space beyond.

Portal No. 1 creates a calming, meditative room, where one can either enter the portal, or sit quietly and ponder on “this” side.
