the (you), a (man)(s), island(s)
1989
Providence, Rhode Island
This piece consisted of five, large, three-dimensional words of brick, wood, ice and wax that were placed in a small Japanese garden made up of three islands connected by footbridges. The lexicon grew out of the recognition of the site as a popular site for wedding photographs. The materials were chosen to enhance the interpretation of the words and their connection with the ceremony of marriage. “the (you), a (man)(s), island(s)” was commissioned by the City of Providence for the Convergence II festival in 1989.
