사랑 마운틴에 정착하여 텃밭을 일구고, 쓰러져 가는 차고대신 작업실을 짓고 산비탈엔 유실수를 심고, 폐허가 된 야외 수영장엔 꽃섬을 만들고, 시내엔 다리를 놓고 그 곁엔 정자까지 지었다. 주위의 돌로 돌담과 담장을 만들고, 꽃을 가꾸며 지낸지 8년째…
그 8년 동안 신작으로만 3번의 개인전을 열었고, 내 자유의 공간에 영혼과 육체의 에너지를 아낌없이 부으며 살고 있다.- 작가 노트 중에서
Artist's Note : I had moved from Long Island to the Town of Blooming Grove in Orange County, NY 8 years ago, and settled in Sarang Mountain(https://www.facebook.com/Sarang-Mountain-378890002279991/). “Sarang” means love in Korean and Sarang Mountain is a nickname I’ve chosen for my home and art studio. It is located in a beautiful region proximate to Schunemunk mountainside, where I’ve dedicated a considerable amount of time and energy cultivating a garden, building a workshop, planting fruit trees and a flower island where a rundown swimming pool used to be. Additionally, I built two small bridges across a creek and a wooden pavilion where one can rest and reflect. I also built a large stone wall from stones scattered around the property. All of this was built by hand over a span of eight years... - Among the Artist's' Notes.
