Three Ties

Made with wood from Plum Island, the three ties hanging from the twisted wire mimic the three crumbling nails protruding from the panel. While the nails have deteriorated faster than the pressure treated wood, the stains they leave behind will remain. I found the ties buried in the construction site of what is now the new Media Lab at MIT. There were countless remnants from the building that were ultimately just covered with turf and sprayed with seed. Makes you wonder what lies beneath all those pretty lawns.

Red Balance




Calm settling over Plum Island after one of the biggest storms of the summer.














Made with driftwood from Plum Island and erosion fencing from Cape Cod that's been mangled by waves, this sculpture illustrates balance in the natural world. Red represents the fire of the sun; driftwood, the power of oceans; metal, the strength of resources; goldstone, all the precious gifts.

Finding such boldly colored wood is rare, but on this particular trip I gathered a bunch of it. Perhaps some poor hippies' love shack was toppled in a particularly fierce storm....
