> within simple and/or found materials. The additional task is not to
> belabor a critical definition of any discovery. In fact, the primary
> impulse is to use eyes and ears - or any of the other senses -
> reveal what makes for awe. I don’t mean awe in a shallow, romantic
> sense. But to find those situations in which the senses are
> penetrated in such a way as to make you stop in your own tracks,
> either for a second or an enduring space of time.
> For example, I am walking across Guerrero at 19th Street at dusk
