Drum Set Crows Nest

The base for our  Drum Set Crow's Nest has begun.  In a month's time, it will be installed.  You can follow this blog and also the www.yurtcity.blogspot.com postings for updates about this piece, which is part of the 10th anniversary exhibition of The Farm Project in Garrison NY.  It opens on September 5th, 2015.  Details to come.  

I have been quietly working over the past few years in the studio on paintings and for the past few years on ceramic sculpture and mostly one of a kind, limited production studio pottery. During this time of intense studio production, have let this blog run fallow.  I am back in action in more ways than one.  I will be posting regular postings on this site and in late August, fellow Canadian and 10 year strong now Yurt City, collaborating partner, Laura Ten Eyck and I will be installing Drum Set Crows Nest in Garrison New York as part of The Farm Project at Saunder's Farm coordinated by Collaborative Concepts. Our structure will be installed high on the hills of the Hudson highlands on a real cow farm with opening events on Labour Day weekend, a mid run event on October 3rd, 2015 and a closing event on November 1st.  Below are two images of Cow Semaphore a project we installed at Saunder's Farm in 2012. It withstood Hurricane Sandy.



















Here are a few preliminary drawings of Drum Set Crows Nest that were rejected.  One was a bit too much like a Life Guard Station.  The other was too tall for safety and liability concerns.  

Stay tuned to see how the final installed version turns out. Over the summer we will post some sneak peaks of the work in progress.  We begin installing in mid August 2015.
