With strong interests in light and reflection studies, and having previously completed two (2) successful environmental installations at Deer Isle, (ME) involving these, I have again successfully tested my capacity to introduce a reflective element into an already highly lit reflective and colorful natural environment to create an original, organically intriguing installation piece.  This year’s most recent piece (July 26, 2010) mounted at LeCount’s Hollow Beach (Maguire Landing, Wellfleet, MA) on the Cook’s Camp Dune involved 150+ feet of 18 inch wide aluminum foil installed into the side of the dune vertically from the top to the beach.  With utmost respect for the fragility of the outer cape’s dunes, I carefully guided and placed the material in the sand. Juxataposed several feet away from, and alongside a “dune ladder” intended for human traffic, the foil not only reflected light, color, and elements of the shore (including sky, sea, sand, foliage, birds & animals), but discouraged traffic while attracting much attention. Most observers’ initial confused and protective reactions gave way to eventual responses of curiosity, support & admiration.  Please refer to the accompanying photographs of the project. One youngster created a “miniature” re-creation of the scene in the sand (see photos in “Installations” album.) More photo and video documentary of this and previous projects, as well as access to press releases and interview, is available, please contact me through email. A second installation in Drummer Cove, So. Wellfleet was also documented August 3 - 8, 2010 (see “Drummer Cove” under “Installations” on the “art” link of this website.)
