The next collaboration was "The Mountain." The walnut was quickly shaped with power tools and a chisel here and there. Beaded waterfalls emerge from the cracks in the mountain stones and chess men found caves to live in and a strange dollhouse chair found its way to the prospect at the very top. We couldnt find the place for the little micromachine dump truck filled with glitter stars. That toy truck generated "The Bridge."
Two hands emerging from the side of a mountain, holding an arch of stones underwhich a waterfall decends.The construction vehicle approachs the crest of the arch. Did I mention that at this point we owned the property in Vermont, had the architect's plans for our non-electric camp and didnt have the slightest notion of how we would get it built, except that, whatever the funding might be, and whenever it might manifest itself, we would build it together. These Pieces are statements of faith.
