After a long cold winter and a delayed spring, the narcissus planted as part of Utica Tracings finally bloomed. Sculpture Space held a reception for the project on May 3. Utica Tracings is part of a long-term series of site-specific projects, 914 Whitesboro Street that I have been creating in Utica, New York, home of Sculpture Space, an international artist residency program. My first site-work in Utica was Insert which I created as an artist-in-residence at Sculpture Space in 1998, followed by Solitary View (2001), Translucent Home (2008) and Trace(2013). Utica Tracings marks my twenty-year engagement with this neighborhood and it's history. This is my first project that moves off of Sculpture Space property and further into the neighborhood.
