It's Raining at Cooper's beach!

I never really looked at rain drops on the car window until I went to Cooper's Beach this morning to remind myself that I live at the beach. I saw the ocean through the glass and also upside down in the drops. I love the immediacy of a digital camera, since my time in the studio has become so limited. This made me think of Ross Blechner's "cell" works.

JOHN CHAMBERLAIN'S HEAVY METAL

By DANIEL KUNITZ for The NY Sun February 21, 2008

The five large pieces in his new show at PaceWildenstein Gallery suggest that the sculptor John Chamberlain (b. 1927) of Shelter Island, now in his 81st year, has lost none of the playfulness and verve that have long characterized his efforts. And yet his methods continue to change. Best-known for polychrome sculptures constructed from crushed automobile parts, he has, in fact, worked in many media, from steel pipes to foam, foil, paper bags, and Plexiglas. The stainless steel from which the five new pieces have been made marks a relatively new material direction.
