Between Two Spaces:
Reflections on the Spiritual in Art
by Dr. Halide Salam

• The text is strewn with excerpts from Indian and Muslim texts that Dr. Salam feels inform her work. She recounts for us an old nursery rhyme and ponders, “The moon has been with me for as long as I can remember. As a child I slept to the sounds of the melody of my favorite moon-song and waited for the moon to appear each month, whole, shimmering in beauty. The deep colors of the night held a special significance and paralleled what my favorite song taught me. ‘Sleep, sleep under the moonshine and the starlight, for the night is an ocean of honey.’”

• “There was only one major street then, and this street...was deserted. It was high noon right at Dhohr time, when the sun bestows shadows that are exactly the same length as the objects. The street wound its way up to the top of the hill like a silent rattlesnake, but the top of the hill chimed with voices. This was my first conscious initiation to the paradox of simultaneity. I had traveled thousands of miles to this sparsely populated hill station to be taught the first important lesson in my new journey, that all things carried within themselves their own growth and extinction.”
