Late in the day, as the Camp 4 climbers got set to trek down, they noticed what appeared to be an apparition: trudging toward them, his parka open, his mittens missing, his arms held before him like the vampiric undead, was Beck Weathers, risen from the snow. Somehow, inexplicably, he had survived the nightlong storm, living through bitter, anoxic conditions that should have killed him hours before. To be sure, his condition was grim.

Jacob, now 14, is able to participate fully in school and recently traveled to Europe...

So to enter and circulate within the distorted bowl of his Torqued Ellipse IV is to find yourself inside a resolutely abstract geometric volume that is also somehow a womb, a crater, an inlet and a chamber. By its powerful address to both the body and the subconscious, it sets in motion some very deep mental reflexes, including the ones having to do with anguish, awe and desire.
