Gravity is a Law in the Material Word, Levitation is a Law in the Spiritual World.

Tim Collins
Public Art Works Marin, California, Susan Pontious, Director

Asked to construct an undeclared memorial, Collins sought form and function that would suggest the memory of a long lost sibling. A structure that was firm, yet built to contain an ethereal, experiential phenomenon which is more spirit than matter.

A heavy but small stone structure with a whitewashed plaster interior holds the shadow form of water dripping into water. Projected on the floor of the building the shadow-drop and its concentric shadow-circles slowly move from the floor of the building up the walls and dissipate into the light that washed the ceiling.
