Eros (The Moon)
A luminous golden circle is drawn with delicate precision on a field of deep red paper, evoking the soft, ethereal glow of moonlight against a darkened sky. James Lee Byars reduces the cosmic and the erotic to a single, meditative gesture, finding infinite suggestion in the simplest of forms. The tension between the warmth of gold and the intensity of red charges the work with a quiet sensuality and mystical weight.
