Brill's design are featured in a short piece in the December 1992 issue
of Landscape Architecture magazine (vol. 82, No. 12, pg.s 42-43).  Among the
captions that accompany the three renderings is the following description:
"'Landscape of Thorns', a random forest of concrete thorns 50 feet high,
suggesting wounds or punctures to the body... 'Rubble Landscape' is composed of a crude
square pile of dynamited stone, suggesting a massive effort to keep something
covered, a place that feels destroyed, not created.  It is surrounded by a mound
of soft sand that is difficult to walk on... Spikes in the 'Spike Field'
pop up through the sand, moving in various directions.  The wall containing
the spikes suggests that safety lies outside."

The renderings use a lot of cool greys and blacks and accordingly, they
appear quite ominous.  Its an interest set of concepts and an interesting
problem -- the search for a "universal language".
