"One Floor Up More Highly"

This was a huge exhibit at Mass MOCA, covering several rooms. It filled the largest gallery in the museum. I did look at their website to see what was on display, and when I read that this exhibit consisted of large pieces of styrofoam and painted dirt, I must confess I thought that this was not going to do much for me. Imagine my surprise when I arrived in the gallery and found this really amazing! The raggedly cut Styrofoam was amazing in itself. It had a feeling of pieces of iceberg. And the painted dirt had a quality that was so much more than you might think. I spent a lot of time exploring this entire room. And of course took photographs. It was tough to pick just one - the is over one hundred feet long, so there was a lot to this sculpture. This is a huge construction, by the way, reaching to the ceiling.
