I saw a photo of him yesterday at the Phillips Collection: the image of an oil refinery, from St. John, Newfoundland. I should have taken a picture with my camera - perhaps next time when I go there. It was giving the impression of a huge organ, surrounding a narrow living room leading to some unknown beyond.
