KALTENBACH ANNOTATIONS:  This painting is a plan for a wall installation which is an arrangement of 'book grained' fluorescing minerals that are enhanced with fluorescent paint. These projects are an outgrowth of my Interest in radial and bisymmetry; which was a development of my psychedelic experience. This hallucinogenic vision I received during a Mescaline trip is also the inspiration for the design of the paintings for 'The Window' installation in 1982, the bisymmetrical cloud photos that were done from 1969 to 1972, and the pattern paintings done from 1970 to 1979.
