"Jen Mills, "offering", (2005). An installation exploring time and memory. Over the course of 40 days, a room is filled with 40 bowls. Each day a new bowl filled with salt and water is placed next to the one before. Over time, the older bowls become encrusted with salt, the younger bowls just beginning. Slowly salt water filters through the bowls, creating patterns on the floor, covering the entire room."( from http://www.pinterest.com/pin/435934438902415294/)
Think this is a really beautifully exhibited and thought through piece. It has an air of solemnity and peace about it which is enhanced by this seemingly natural process. I think this shows how simplicity(which I often struggle with) can produce beautiful and evocative works.
