While in Austerlitz, NY, the location of the Millay Colony and Edna St Vincent Millay's Steepletop Estate, the forested environment was mountainous and felt remote. However, evidence of human intervention was always present, in the conduits, pipes, and channels built to direct water through the countryside. Responding in my studio, paint collection platforms were designed to capture paint directed down a series of conduits. The white ground and black paint are meant to create a 3D drawing.
