My goal was to create a work which serves as a visual and physical entrance into a particular landscape, one within which the "passage" through dark matter into the light can be physically felt. A trench cut into an existing turf bank, floored with rail track, lined with sleepers. Beyond the passage three vertical rails reach skyward. Beyond these, a trail into the forest.
