Natural environments are shrinking. Easy access tounadulterated natural lands is becoming rare. At the same time we live inincreasingly congested spaces, work in crowded offices, and drive on busyroads. We are bombarded by sound and visuals. Multitasking is expected. Tosurvive the modern world, we crave a mental break. We crave Open Space.

Much is left undefined. Tensions permeate: realism vs. abstraction, organic vs. geometricform, and deep vs. flat space. These ambiguities are central to creating aspace into which the viewers can bring their own shifting visions of, anddesires for, Open Space.
