Seals off Squibnocket Beach

Yesterday afternoon Marianne and I took a walk on Squibnocket Beach. It was cold, gray, and windy, but at least Squibby is somewhat in the lee when it is blowing from the NorthWest.
(a little note: YouTube supports 720p HD video and displays it as long as you put this code in at the end of the link: &fmt=22 or you can click on "watch in high quality" which is located below the video on the right hand side. It is one of those little things that are so easy to overlook. It really does make a lot of difference to see it in "high quality" though it is still not as good as the original footage.)

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 I sailed across the North and South Atlantic and wrote an unpublished book before working my way on to the special effects crew for the movie JAWS 2.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.
