Wishing in progress

Now developing at the Hailey House, ( birthplace cottage of Ezra Pound); "Pound Wish Prescription." For this work I created a set of small, abstract steel forms that encircle the apple tree at the front of the house. Ezra Pound’s poem “A Girl” is written in chalk on the forms. A collaborative three dimensional drawing, the public is invited to make wishes and to tie colored strings representing those wishes to white ropes that hang from the branches of the tree. When complete the wishes (strings) will be wound, cremated, cast in aluminum and returned as a "stone" to the Hailey House garden.
