Sculptures for the Cosmic Garden is a piece about Light as a manifestation of God’s peace. The text combines words from the Christian liturgy and three Bible passages with excerpts from the recorded lectures of Alan Watts, a sort of beatnik philosopher.

“Sculptures” refers to the temporary “object” that is created at the convergence of voices. Picture the colorful, refracted image made by a prism that is skewered by beams of light. Similarly, words are the prisms through which voices shine, revealing new colors in their music.
