Anchorite saints went to the desert to pray. All over the world, people repair to the desert to die. Woke once the clays of a dead star. The law of Charles Simonds's realm is elegant and simple. Earth gives rise to living beings who in turn build towns and temples, disturbing and hallowing the mud that gave them life.
Individuals die and the artifacts of their culture decay and return to the earth.
The cycle of creation and destruction informs Charles Simonds's microcosmic meditations. Peer into the terraces and windows of Floral Font and into the world of Charles Simonds's imagination. Then suppose you were to glance over your shoulder and discover a vastly bigger eye peering at you.
