Mt.Manhattan (Downtown), 2000
Soil, sod and mixed media.
3.1 x 5.6’ x 5.8”.

Since arriving in New York I’ve envisioned the city as a grassy landscape rather than an urban metropolis. I first realized my conception in a miniature island mountain range roughly conforming to the topography of Manhattan-- the peaks on the hills corresponding to skyscrapers. Various Mountains have been commissioned, to date, including
Mt. Houston, at Diverse Works, Houston.
