April 14 · APRIL ARC — made for my back yard using the materials from the dismantled SHADOW DANCE sculpture that was at Villa Terrace Museum of Decorative Arts. The sand willow is the supports are triangles, and the reeds are bundled 5 thick ropes and suspended from the top/middle of the triangles. It moves in the wind. It is about 75 feet wide 6 foot high. These are the first photographs.

March 20 at 2:00pm · The show is definitely over. All verticals are out and stacked around the rings. Then all the rings were cut in half and removed. It could have lasted another year. The reeds were strong enough. bye bye SHADOW DANCE. — at Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum.

at night, light sculpture BECOMING A STAR, WHEN THE MAGIC BEGINS

this is at night, a sculpture for an exhibition of 'lights' called GLEAM at Olbrich Botanical Gardens. It is over/in the water on a small pond that has some duckweed on the surface. The lights change hue every 50 second — the seven colors. In the day the work is painted Japanese Torii red, one reason to be a compliment to the green duck weed.

FIRE PERFORMANCE IN THE NIGHT

STONE, WATER, FIRE. In the middle of the river my five legged chimney, a hollow cylinder is right to make a fire inside. What better for the end of a symposium than to have a happening/performance. This is a nature-art grouping and our final night June 22nd at Gabrovtsi, Bulgaria. The Bulgarian artists came with me to experience the fire in the night. Danica Milusheva and Orfey Mindov photographed and filmed it. 'come on baby light my fire'.

the nineth work..Four stone base Flatstone three stones branches

the last work that I made in Bulgaria. [I am not going figurative] I think of height, first with the balance stone structure: a four stone base and then up to go as wide as the available branches that I find along the shore of the river to make a clear triangular form. Well! she dances like a Japanese Geisha in her pose.

FIVE LEGGED CHIMNEY...

My arch near the bridge and swimming hole was knocked down but it is a good place so I returned to make a new work with a new idea. I started with five legs and then proceeded to make a tubular shape balancing the rocks. Here is a view from the side and one from the top looking in.
