This 2-sided drawing was made specifically to fit between the ceiling and the floor in the Anne Reid Gallery. I made this drawing as a response to the expanse of windows on the back wall. The first time I visited, it was early summer and I was struck by all the green so the one thing I knew before beginning the drawing was that I wanted green to be an important element in this piece. I was also thinking about how what is outside affects what is inside and vice versa.

Anne Gilman At the still point of the turning world

This view shows 2 drawings: "At the still point of the turning world" on the right and "A particular kind of quiet" on the floor in the front.

This is a detail from the drawing laying across the gallery floor called "A particular kind of quiet." It shows the 2 handblown glass globes sitting on the blue field of color - with he sun streaming in the windows.

This view includes the drawing "You might wait forever" hanging on the wall on the right.

This view shows "Flashpoint" on the left and "Landing" on the right.

This is a view from the front of the gallery. The gallery expands out to the right in the back.

This view shows "Sundowning" on the left and "The Mastermind y lo contrario" on the right.

This shows a detail of the plexiglass box that was fabricated to hold "The Mastermind y lo contrario" - when installed the colophon is shown on the right and the unused pages from David Unger's "The Mastermind" are shown bolted together on the left.

This image shows the curator, Gwen Shockey, documenting the work after finishing the install of "At the still point of the turning world."
