If you haven’t visited this area recently, it is a perfect time of year. The @MenilCollection campus is fantastic when you are in a contemplative, inspirational mood. Always a different experience depending on who you are with if anyone. Chill in the city is a gift.
Today in 1971, Broken Obelisk sculpture at @RothkoChapel is dedicated to Martin Luther King Jr.

not five years went by and someone finally inquired (admittedly in passing) about my profile banner image. I AM SO GLAD YOU ASKED. it's called "The Color Men Choose When They Attack the Earth" (1968). it's by Walter De Maria, who is mostly known for his land art. this piece is in the @MenilCollection and it's massive.. 6 meters across. here is perhaps his most famous land art installation, called "The Lightning Field."

We can speak to each other with what I call “beacons of light” or energetically. ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ Nina Sobell proves this with her work. ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ While in Houston today I went to the @MenilCollection and saw her work. @NinaSobell en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nina_S… Tears of Joy today. The connection with Nina is strong. @MediaBurnVideo did a great thing digitising Nina’s work. ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ Doug would be elated! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doug_M…
