skat. 2008. gada 17. janvāra laikrakstā Toronto Star ; ir Peter’a Goddard’a raksts
http://www.thestar.com/article/294653
Raksts ir par Gareth’a Lichty skulptūru kādā Toronto baznīcā. Manu interesi tas piesaistīja ar to, ka skulptūras nosaukums ir SAULE. Domāju, ka tā tikai sagadīšanās, bet lasot rakstu uzzināju, ka autors skulptūru nosaucis tiešām par Sauli, pamatojoties uz latviešu un lietuviešu mitoloģiju.
part of the article:
“The Caribou Project,” named after the church’s address (since 1951) at 201 Caribou Rd. and the brainchild of Toronto artist Robin Pacific, encompassed six separate projects. SAULE, by Kitchener artist Gareth Lichty – a woven basket, 4.5 metres in diameter, suspended over the church altar – is the last work in the series. ...
.....The 20-something artist has a thing for mass-produced material that’s familiar and easy to come by. SAULE is no exception. Looking rather like a huge surgical mask suspended from the church rafters with a small circular hole left at its centre, the work consists of four kilometres’ worth of plastic tubing of the kind usually found in medical equipment.....
...."It was always meant to be suspended under the skylight over the altar. It was always about the light. The only question was what material should be used to transport it.”.....
....SAULE – the name derives from a mother goddess in Latvian and Lithuanian mythology
