you're invited to play the role of “observer" (re) constructing Sol LeWitt's Forms derived from a Cube
Since art is a vehicle for the transmission of ideas through form, the reproduction of the form only reinforces the concept. It is the idea that is being reproduced. Anyone who understands the work of art owns it. We all own the Mona Lisa.
WHAT: watch in real time as we (re)construct Lewitt's India ink drawings on paper in four dimensions (fourth being Time) as housing for Padua Rooster Shinnecock and his family.Their ancestral origins were in India, later observed in Padua along the River Po, hence their name.
WHERE: sited in my open air studio in Shinnecock Hills

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul.
And sings the tune
Without the words,
and never stops at all.
Emily Dickinson
