Biography and Bibliography
“ATLANTA: The bellhop calls them sunflowers, the desk clerk calls them rainbows. They are spectra made by sunbeams passing through the thousand prisms the Rockne Krebs has fastened to the skylights 14 stories overhead. They drift alone, or in small groups, apparently at random through the Omni International as long as there is light…
No pigments are as pure as these colors made of light — the reds and emerald greens and mysterious midnight purples — that visit the walls, the leaves of the indoor gardens, and your lap. They vary in intensity from the ghostly to the brilliant. Though they seem to wander aimlessly as clouds, they obey Newtonian optics in the placement of the prisms, and the cycles of the sun.”
Brilliant Hues of Sunbeams by Day, Piercing Darts of Lasers by Night, Paul Richard, The Washington Post, 1976
