Art of Action Work:
I Got My Piece
54"h x 48"w - acrylic and latex enamel on wood
This particular work was done in sequence with the six paintings
created for this project. They were all focused on development issues but had, as
a unified background, the wish to develop this limited and finite piece of land with
care and deliberation. With so little space sought by many differing entities, the
competition is driving up the cost living and affordability for everyday Vermonters
who wish to remain on the land. The urge to extol the "I got my piece" mentality is
making the future for the next generation difficult to attain and aspire to.
There needs to be a formula for equalization that allows people to stay on their
land while making room for controlled growth and sustainable development.
