Autumn Day

Autumn Day, stained glass mosaic on wood, 36" x 24", 2010

I got the idea for this piece while hiking at Bear Mountain State Park. It was a crisp and bright day, everything was illuminated. We were a little short on time and couldn't linger around as long as we wanted to. While hurrying to make the last bus to make it back home to Brooklyn I got an idea. I created an imaginary character who would mark the way back to this day by building cairns through out the woods. Before leaving the park, I found the perfect place with plenty of stones for my girl.
