Jay's View - an artist looks at Life: Sculpture in the Snow

Sculpture in the Snow

Woke up to a beautiful day!

The view out our kitchen window

My grand daughter El and I walked out to State Road to get the Sunday New York Times. A pleasant walk through our sculpture garden.

The Courting Swans is appropriate for Valentine's Day

Sunrise in the early morning sun

Can you make out the Jitterbug Dancers?

The shadows from The Dance stand out on the snow behind the steel Meditation Dancer

The Family is waiting to see the action while the Hitch Hiking '66 Tiger just wants a ride

Sometime it is a long cold wait

The snow adds to the Arched Lady's curves

This Family lost its flags in the high winds

Strutting my Stuff

The Jazz Dancers cast a long shadow

Swinging Jenny and the Deer Park play out in the sheep field

Marianne's 50th Birthday present

You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blew

You might notice that the Courting Swans has rotated over 90 degrees

Tango Dancers

This pair of Jitterbug Dancers was in the wind and only got a light coating of snow

The snow covered up the Cross Country Skier's tracks

I like the way the light comes through the snow on Speedo and her bike

The more abstract small bronze Dance

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 I sailed across the North and South Atlantic and wrote an unpublished book before working my way on to the special effects crew for the movie JAWS 2.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