When I read about it I thought the vessel would be bigger, but still I wouldn't want to be carrying it across the desert.Mayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03542884740418230212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4182916967420365852.post-30377647542601343132010-01-30T11:55:53.300+10:302010-01-30T11:55:53.300+10:30It's all about space and the human desire to f...It's all about space and the human desire to fill it, isn't it? The imperial gaze--that is the eye of those who are piveleged to travel the world, always see empty space and feel that they are ordained to fill it with their presence. Your post made me think of the Spanish explorers who ventured into the Americas, particularly the northern deserts of Mexico and the U.S. Southwest. They saw nothing but empty space and the anticipated fruits of colonization. In they process they overlooked the glory and bounty of nature AND the presence of those who came before them. Love that upside down vessel. gonzaleeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
