autumn moon garden

"Look down: a river of grass. Look up: a velvet lost
and found. Look inside: no straws to drink that dusk."

I am drawn to the ethereal quality and off-center energy of this photograph. An archetype, the garden and the gardener, moving toward the light?

weeks of dying mums to second the motion."

Notes on stained glass installation: Inspired by the Hudson River, The River That Flows Both Ways (Spencer Finch) documents a 700 minute journey on the river in a single day. The title is a translation of Muhheakantuck, the Native American name for the Hudson that refers to the river's natural flow in two directions.

On June 12, 2008, from a tugboat drifting on Manhattan's west side and past the High Line, Finch photographed the river's surface once every minute for 700 minutes. The color of each pane of glass was based on a single pixel point in each photograph and arranged chronologically in the steel mullions of the old train tunnel. Time is translated into a grid, reading from left to right and top to bottom, capturing the varied reflective and translucent conditions of the water's surface.
