Sub text reads: Dusk. Walking beside a small lake surrounded by limestone in South West France. As the first stars appear I become aware of glow worms on the ground around me. To my eye these separate phenomena appear much the same size, a slight of scale in my imagination. Scale (2) Exhibited at "the manifest of changes and an inner experience" Artisterium 2009 Tbilisi.
