Spencer Finch pays tribute to the great American poet Emily Dickinson in his art installation, “366 (Emily’s Miraculous Year)“. He set up 366 colored candles in a spiraled form, and each color corresponds to a Dickinson poem that was written in 1862– the miraculous year where she wrote 366 poems in 365 days. The poems each mention a color, and that color is transformed into a candle in Finch’s work, to burn for 24 hours one after another.
