I have lived most my life in Taborton, NY on the Rensselaer Plateau, just east of the Hudson Valley. My studio is a lean to garage that I repurposed for a workspace over the course of 2006, and I have made most of my work there since. Although I often make sculpture, I am most at home at the table drawing.
From There to Here started during a Nor’easter in March of 2017. Taking breaks between going out to plow snow I would make a drawing, each time a different form stemming from a variation on brick patterns. I knew these were a beginning at the time. I was thinking about making something that could exist between drawing and sculpture. I made cardboard models of each variation. Each one was flat, but free standing, the support creating the dimension. As From There to Here exists outdoors, at scale, I hope it has a shifting sense of space in relation to The Garden.
