Night Day installation created with Adam Smith plus
students from dance and music
Dickinson Hall, Bennington College
This is the only photo (i know of) documenting this
installation created in collaboration with Adam Smith.
Everything in the installation was suspended from dozens of
handmade pulleys that supported
dancers on swings counterbalanced by sandbags as well as
supporting a giant "womb"
in which a dancer was featured. Slide projectors created
the ambience
and were supported by more than 20 musicians and singers.

Dewey House, Bennington College
When i could not find a suitable location for presentation
of this piece, i cleared out my room and created my own
gallery.
Counter Weight Sculpture created with Adam Smith
VAPA, Bennington College
Also the only surviving image of this precariously balanced
sculpture
attached to the side of VAPA.
These large tree limbs were counterbalanced by
a large weight on the opposite side of the building
connected via a single rope and pulley system.
Using what we had at hand, polypropylene plastic rope was
used and turned out to be way too elastic.
Just moments after presenting the piece (which included
dancers underneath the branches)
the entire thing slumped to the ground.
a device to clean the river
North Bennington, Vermont
One summer, i was the artist in residence for a project to
clean up the river and pond in town.
I designed and build a platform that was installed in the
center of the pond and was used as a homebase
for the effort. Using found materials, the derrick was
included a crane for lifting heavy items and a winch for
pulling in boats.
These acetone transfer prints were created as part of the
project and installed in a local community space.

Riverfest created with Adam Smith
Williamstown, MA
Another collaboration with Adam. This time, we lived on the
far side
of a river along which other artists were also installing
works.
Using found materials, natural processes and human power
we created a series of counterbalanced sculptures.
