Outdoor installation on the sloping lawn below Glyndor Gallery presents a curving wall of photography and drawings fluttering in the breeze, blending with the landscape.
Images printed on waterproof fabric mounted on a clear plexiglass structure. 32 feet long x 8 feet high. 2008
I am inspired by the everyday saga and the painterly effect I see everywhere, in my contradictory tradition..I approach drawings, photos , paintings as very three dimensional mediums because the feelings, memories that provoke, the stories that are told have many dimensions ,that's why the Green Wall is a painting and a sculpture that moves and changes as life and the landscape that serves as it background
The process of giving life to idea takes time, takes changes. This piece was inspired by the diversity found in nature, the human presence and the human manipulation, the greens and the blues of the Wave Hill landscape and the blending of it all. The photos were taken in different locations in New York and Dominican Republic. The New York images are places I pass by when traveling to schools all over Brooklyn in my teaching-artist residencies with Studio in a School.
My projects are family productions..William understands when I speak with my gestures and hands..and we are a good team. My sister and the girls also get assignments so my ideas can have a happy ending.

Great work! What about showing it at Storm King
or Dia in Beacon,NY?
What happens in the rain? (Been lots of it lately)
It does blend yet contrast w/ the pastoral background
