Stainless steel art series #1 - Square lamp, ca. mid 1990's, photographed March 18, 2001

About fifteen years ago I started playing around bending wire into bird, animal, and human figures and some inanimate figures as well. Back in April I was showing some of them to Kate and with her encouragement we spent a sunny morning photographing them. I've presented a few of those images in a series here and now I'm adding some images of a few pieces I didn't have with me that take my art in some new directions using stainless steel wire and sheet.

Here we're seeing a transition toward larger pieces using wound wire "springs" and stamped metal.

Night camp

On my property off Less Traveled Road - The Home Place, Red Rock, East Chatham NY

• I used to camp in a few locations on what little I had left of the family farm
  • In the driveway by the house
  • Across the road where the barn once stood
  • On the 20 acre piece off Less Traveled Road
• Now, with the kind support of the friends who now own the place, I camp across the road where the barn once stood.
