Autumn Joy is dedicated to my lovely daughter Amber whose favorite season is autumn in New England.

Stephen and I participated in a workshop at the Arnold Arboretum to make art inspired by the work of Andy Goldsworthy. We have long appreciated his often ephemeral work made in and of nature. He primarily does installations, but he also does some performative work, always using only natural materials.
