are based loosely on the shape and
topography a wildmouse tastebud. The
installation also includes an evocative
soundscape, drawn primarily from
field recordings captured at twilight
in the Rocky Mountains during high
summer. “Dark Skies” is an astronomical
reference, referring to remote places

an extended view into deep space and
time. This insight offers not only
a unique perceptual and psychological
experience but the promise of new
discovery.
