Might not ever get home


I was enjoying contemplating this piece by Michael Heizer at Glenstone. I notice that almost no one spent much time engaging with the piece. People seemed able to take it in much faster than I did. I am sure they had their reasons. And it didn’t bother me in the slightest. It reminded me of the times I visited the Museum of Modern Art in New York and I needed to escape the mass of humanity for a few minutes to catch my breath. I would duck into one of the galleries containing minimalist art. There was no one else in there most of the time and I could recover from the visual overload of the rest of the exhibitions. It was all good because the minimalist work was my favorite anyway.
