This Tumeric piece is actually one I saw in print many years ago, a big black book called Installation Art, and every now and again I realise how much I love a piece in it.
I found out during University that my lecturer was in the book too.
 
This piece is all the more special to me because it is installed at the British School in Rome, where I spent a month living, during university as part of a scholorship program.
 
This piece always come to my mind when I think of the Buddhist Sand paintings intricutly made and then swept away, a reminder of lifes impermience.
