Two of my sculptures I love, River of Grass and It Was Here, appeared in the 2006 Contemporary Sculpture at Chesterwood, Berkshire estate and summer home of sculptor Daniel Chester French. Installation of River of Grass was challenging; many thanks to my sister, art conservator Katherine Holbrow, for her assistance with that sweaty job!

Both pieces got an encouraging positive review by Marty Carlock in the April 2007 issue of Sculpture Magazine. River of Grass looked a bit ragged by the end of the season, but it was a cool piece all the same. It Was Here, the bronze plaque commemorating the moment the viewer stands before it reading the text, held up well and was a breeze to deliver, although casting it myself in bronze at MassArt was no small feat. I’m quite proud and fond of it… Bonus, I took home and planted two tiny seedlings from under an enormous beech tree on the estate.
