Long prisms hang in rows within a nickel-gray room in this installation. The prisms come toward us in this view. A row of long prisms hang closely together to our right, and shorter prisms are hung in groups farther away from us. They cast long silvery-gray and black shadows on the ground, and hints of rainbows stripe the walls.
