Blizzard

“Blizzard... an abstract essay of movement, beautiful in the complex dew of modernity.... It creeps and crawls into action, in an elegant use of momentum. Similarly, a host of abstract elements, used with the utmost delicacy and care, form the architecture of the piece, rather than a driving idea, or even an emotion, of which there is the full gamut, from unnerving, almost queasiness, to joyful...It is nothingness made vivid...you almost have a childlike sensitivity to being engaged with it. A charming naivety, a wide-eyedness is induced - what will happen next?”
