All eyes turn upwards In silent meditation To endless blue sky. Meditation music Walking through a pathway surrounded by clouds of clipped box, one eventually rises up a gentle slope to find a building of wood construction on stilts that has no windows on any of the four walls. Entering through two sets of doors one walks in to discover a single room approximately 8 metres square. Around the white painted wall space are benches of unpainted wood. The ceiling is a smooth surface painted white. In the centre of the ceiling is an aperture approximately 3 metres square that forms a window to what is obviously the sky above. The effect is absorbing. A buzzard flies overhead, and everything is silent. When we visited last week there were about a dozen people in the 'box', eyes towards the sky in total silence. It was an uplifting experience, and I sat with our youngest grandson for about 20 minutes, both of us totally absorbed. And yes - the sky was just blue. This is the art installation called Skyspace: Seldom Seen by James Turrell, and is one of many public artworks that can be seen at Houghton Hall in Norfolk.
