John Lancaster

Like a lamp in a windless place that does not flicker?.., - 1989

The work is inspired by an excavation on the Palazzo Concelleria in Rome that discovered an early Christian site under the present Renaissance building. The excavation is used as a metaphor for exploring and discovering the past. The title is quoted from the Sacred Indian text of the Bhargavad Gita, and refers to a perfect state of equilibrium between mind and body.
