One of my favorite places in all of the world, I'm not sure when I last visited the Baháʼí temple. This is the only place like it in North America, the meditative gardens, symmetrical architecture and the peaceful site are beautiful to visit any time of year.

Artist Statement | Adrienne L. Glover
Currently my art is based upon meditations on privacy, disruption and the black box.
Merriam-Webster defines black box this way:
1. a usually complicated electronic device whose internal mechanism is usually hidden from or mysterious to the user;broadly :  anything that has mysterious or unknown internal functions or mechanisms
2. a crashworthy device in aircraft for recording cockpit conversations and flight data
The concept of the black box session(s) arrived during the course of discussions revolving around boxed wine, recollections of dalliances, and also contemplation of the phrase itself.
A black box is many things: an attempt to maintain order and records despite disruption.  A disruptor of assumptions. A human mind.  Dictionary definitions are only a starting point. They are not an arrival.
