Jay's View - an artist looks at Life

I am having an open studio at my sculpture garden on Saturday August 12 from 4 to 7. The address is 18 Wequobsque Road in Chilmark. Turn left 1/2 mile past the Chilmark Store heading toward Aquinnah.

	While almost everyone knows my cast bronze Swordfish Harpooner” in Menemsha, Sculpture Garden is full of joyous playful sculptures that haven't been publicly shown. 



	There are also two earlier versions of the mirror-polish stainless steel "Family" that Jay installed this June in Oak Bluffs by the steamship pier overlooking the sound. 





	You can meditate by the fountain that I made in 1976 for Marianne, the love of my life.

	

	You can sit in on "Story Time" and share in a good book.



	Come relax enjoy a bit of the old style Vineyard.  Our Family had been living here for 69 years, built two houses and raised three generations of kids here.  Life here is about having adventures and lots of fun.



	We look forward to seeing you. Tell your friends to come too.  All are welcome. 

Jay

About Me

Jay: I have always liked making things. I fell in love with art when I spent my 18th summer travelling around Europe. At Princeton I took all the art courses available and graduated Phi Beta Kappa in mathematics in 1966. Disillusioned by the Vietnam War, I returned to travelling after getting my Ph.D. in Mathematical Logic from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. I sailed across the North and South Atlantic and wrote an unpublished book before working my way on to the special effects crew for the movie JAWS 2. There I learned the skills to make just about anything. That came in handy because one day, sitting in the Sculpture Park at the Hirshorn Museum, I had a vision of creating the Wild Island Sculpture Park on my land in Chilmark. In 1994 I created the monumental sculpture, the Swordfish Harpooner, in Menemsha for the Chilmark Tricentennial. I work with a variety of materials because I view almost everything as sculpture from the placement of driftwood on the beach to the building of my own house and studios. I have a unique way of seeing things and in 1997 I started making my own public access TV show: Jay's View.
