On view as fine-art prints at Soho Photo Gallery from September 9, 2022 until October 9, 2022. The premier public-art exhibition of The Machine in the Garden was from October 2021 until March 2022 on the fence bordering J.J. Byrne Playground & the Old Stone House, on 3rd Street.

Fabulous that this will be up until spring! I hope everyone else enjoys the colors as much as I did!
Thanks! And so — come’on over!
I stumbled across this exhibit in Park Slope. Amazing. Beautiful photos and intriguing statement. Thank you!!!
Glad you stumbled into my work! & thanks for the kind words.
A fantastic project! All really intriguing images. The theme seems especially timely with many fleeing the city during the pandemic and now (possibly?) returning. The notion of the urban landscape and perhaps the very function and purpose of cities is evolving. How long will the exhibit be up?
Thanks for your thoughtful response & glad you like the work. There is no deinstall date. The Old Stone House thinks these pictures will be a helpful sight during the long dark winter – a spot of high summer in the otherwise dreary NYC winter. We’ll see how long the vinyl lasts! Thanks again!
I love the print titled “Today and Yesterday.” The blue sky in the center gives the illusion of being water, and at first glance I think the trees are floating above the city scape.. I love how the images recede, then comes out, then recedes, then comes back out, ….Wonderful that this will be up in the winter!
Yes & thanks for the note … the intent of the title is that the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens is a ‘middle garden’ from the 19th-century, while the green roof at Kingston Wildflowers is clearly 21st-century. They are so different yet somehow connected. Maybe by Brooklyn. Maybe by a deep human need for green space. And, combining two 360 degree panoramas – well for me – a bit of a jump from my normal practice. So, well – hmmmm.
