Ever wonder what it takes to put one of my sculptures on display? Installing a sculpture with a city government, sculpture park or museum for public display is a delicate dance of logistics. Well here is your chance to see what it takes in a time lapse video of the
Take a few minutes out of your day to revisit the day long installation of my 30-foot tall sculpture The Muse at The Southern Vermont Arts Center in August of 2012. This stunning time lapse video was done by photographer Tim Townsend and captures the majestic qualities of the summer
