This is an installation work taking up much of the wide concourse area of the AHC. A suite of sails from a sailing ship are suspended from six pillars by yards of green rope. The sails are made from green scaffold netting.

What We Want
By Linda Pastan
What we want
is never simple.
We move among the things
we thought we wanted:
a face, a room, an open book
and these things bear our names--
now they want us.
But what we want appears
in dreams, wearing disguises.
We fall past,
holding out our arms
and in the morning
our arms ache.
We don't remember the dream,
but the dream remembers us.
It is there all day
as an animal is there
under the table,
as the stars are there
even in full sun.
- Lydia Chai
