“From an old piece of wood found on the loading platform of a long vacated loft on Front Street, within sight of my front dormer, I made my first real construction (outside of those examples made for Scarsdale) and in it I followed a theme already pursued in my paintings: the “vision binoculaire” of the circle. Taking one of the old rusted tricycle wheels from Fire Island, and an iron stove lid from the beaches thereof.”
Excerpt from artist’s journal, dated November 18, 1959.
