Windswept
Last year’s catastrophic storms in Vermont, resulting in the loss of lives and homes, caused us to reconsider the meaning of earlier installations, given that they too were damaged by extreme weather, and to think about new possibilities. The contemplation of home and climate change also reminds us of the fragility of our outer and inner spaces that require thoughtful tending, care, and love. The images on the silk seen here were made from a combination of mediums derived from and inspired by the beauty of the park’s landscape. The colors draw from its palette of the fields, trees, water, sky, and light.
The site installation is the third iteration in a series. The original work was based on the meaning of home and memories of lived experience within the edges of rooms, doorways, and windows. The photographic images of memories illuminated by transient light were printed on silk. The steel frames continue to provide stability for the silk to move, change, and respond in the elements–they are never the same.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world.
