Peter Terezakis: Beneath the Vault of Heaven, Images from Light Installtions, May 24th

	MicroCoSM Gallery May 24th - June 23rd, 2007 "... Peter Terezakis' light installation powerfully suggests heat lightning fragmenting the desert's night air..." -- The New York Times, 2000 For the last 12 years, Peter Terezakis has been examining the sacredness of nature and open spaces, questioning the effect development has had on rural areas. Since 1995, he has created a series of temporary kinetic light installations in deserts, forests, and national parks throughout the world. "Terezakis marries art and technology in a unique visual quest for spiritual engagement." ---- Allyson Grey
Ordinary florescent lamps are transformed into brushstrokes of light momentarily painting earth and sky. The installations change our perception of space as flashing discharges of plasma invoke a sense of physical movement across an expanding landscape of time and imagination. For Terezakis the work has become a visual metaphor for life's moments bracketed between birth and death, witnessed Beneath the Vault of Heaven.
