TAOS — A pink glow beckons. Visitors remove their shoes and enter a spiral maze of salt and mirrors. In another room, some visitors kneel while others stick burning prayer candles into a sand-filled cattle trough. The mood is hallowed, if somewhat eerie. The materials — salt, sand, glass and fire — are elemental and raw. In a corner, heavy chains suspend an oversized pink glass tarot card — "The Lovers" — in what looks like a medieval torture device. Other cast glass objects — a snake and a pink apple — rest on pedestals. Videos of burning ropes and waning moons are projected on the walls. Everything is pink, white, gray or clear.
