There are three parts to a tire swing. Tires are always plentiful. Lately, within minutes of finding a prime specimen, I find a rope of some sort as well. All that keeps these partners from fulfilling their potential is a lack of support.

The first-year students presented our work today to each other and the rest of the MICA program. So I was going through photos last night and found this one of an installation I did in 1999.
I set this up in the window of an abandoned department store in downtown Montclair, NJ. A motorized goose flew around in a circle trailing objects that clinked and plunked on bottles and glasses below, filling the cavernous space with a beautiful music.
The funny thing was that you couldn’t hear it from the sidewalk outside the window unless you put your ear up to the glass. After a few days you could step back and see dozens of ear prints ranging from child-height to adult.
