I doubt it ...Too bad this is an installation piece. I doubt it will travel out here, and I don't have any plans to go to Denver while this is showing. <br /><br />This is going to sound really stupid, but this reminds me of a child's imagination. When I was a kid I loved treasure chests, secret things, crystals and the like. I would make a fort and, while from the outside it would clearly be some sheets over a sofa and the dining room chairs, from the inside the colors of the blankets would be back lit into jewel tones making it much easier to imagine I was in a castle or fortress with stained glass windows.<br /><br />That's perhaps what I like most about this. I love that the artist kept a simple white entrance that looks almost like the entrance to the old Matterhorn ride at Disneyland. From the pictures I've seen, the inside is so completely different. The inside looks like a cave lined with colorful fish scales. From your picture, it looks like the lights were dimmed enough so the color would really be enhanced in certain areas.<br /><br />Here's an article I found on the piece: http://www.denverpost.com/art/ci_17019415<br /><br />Thank you for posting this. It was very interesting.Emily C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15264617363733484623noreply@blogger.com
