seeing clearly

we saw Alyson Shotz's Mirror Fence at Storm King upstate over the weekend - really great.
Its reflective pickets, which extend in a straight line, enclose nothing. As Shotz has described her practice, "I'm interested in making objects that change infinitely, depending on their surroundings. The light at different times of day, the weather…what the viewers are wearing, all these are just some of the variables that will make the piece different every time one comes in contact with it. For me an ideal work of art is one that is ultimately unknowable in some way."

reminder

Sandy's impact on New York made me think of a postcard collage I made in 1997 - luckily this time was not this bad (and there weren't giant ducks to contend with)
