'A journey Through bui-bui'

摘要

In a continuation of my search for an understanding of sunlight's relationship to the health of the human organism, I created the installation "A JOURNEy THROUGH BUI-BUI; Lifting the Purdah of Mal-Illumination." It was exhibited in 1999 at The Museum of Fine Arts, Santa Fe, New Mexico. The entire work pivots around the image of the "veil," worn by Muslim women, as both content and metaphor related to the issue of the absence or presnece of light inthe physical body. The following paper will discuss the development of concepts and the technical progression of this recently completed large-scale mixed media work.
