The Covid-19 isolation has taken its toll on everyone, and there have been no posts here for all that time. Will, I am pleased to announce, appears to have gotten through unscathed. Our best wishes to all of you reading this and your families. We hope that you are well, and... vaccinated.

In the past month, the organization of Will's papers has gotten underway, as nests of slides and photos and whatnot around the house and studio have steadily been consolidated and prepped for full-scale reorganization. Many poignant images have emerged of Will and Helen's early years at the Menunketesuck Ironworks Studio in Clinton. 

What I am calling "Stage III" of the reorganization has now been completed. The majority of Will's slides have been located and roughly sorted by chronological order, and "Stage IV" is ready to begin. Stage IV will involve determining the content of the preserved material, and separating rare original images of early work from the many duplicate slides and photos that shuttled back and forth between artist, gallery, and agent for so many decades.

Stage V will be the exciting transfer of the entire catalogue of original slides (and negative and photographs) to high quality digital.

I am hoping to take time out from the process to post new images here. Additionally, Will is finishing work this summer on the Henry Zietlow Memorial Trophy.  I am working to set up that page right now. It is, in some ways, a companion piece to the beautiful Head-of-the-Charles Regatta Championships Doubles rowing trophy that was produced in memory of Olympian Sy Cromwell in the 1970s, but in others--a very new kind of piece. That first was produced in memory of a contemporary. The new piece: Will produces it as the proud grandparent of five. It has been sober work indeed, honoring the dead friend of three of his grandchildren.

Will taught design and drawing at Harvard University from 1964-2002. An ongoing project is the organization of his course material, recently, as he's been thinking over these matters, he has made some commentary at the Quora website.

With Will's permission, I am gathering his commentary here in his blog--not least so these writings are easily accessible as work on the drawing course materials progresses.

It has been a pleasure for Will and Katya both, to receive the many kind comments that have welcomed the new pages.  Thank you to all!

We are still working out how to use this page/blog.  So far, so good.

Currently Will is responding to messages as he sees them, and Katya is combing through afterwards to tidy up.  Comments may disappear after Will or Katya has had contact with a poster directly.

To avoid spam, email addresses have not been published on this site, but we will attempt to respond to all messages we receive, privately or publicly, as appropriate.  

Enjoy the mildly comical "pushmi-pullyu" effect as Katya and Will sort out who responds to what, and where?  (Katya's hope is that her role in technical support will become less visible as Will familiarizes himself with the technology)

Beware the Ides of March! 

Welcome, and please feel free to leave your comments.  For those of you familiar with Will's old site, there is much new content and many upgraded photographs.

We'll be combing over the site for the next few weeks, trying to eliminate oddities.  Please address any questions to me (Katya) and I will pass them on to Will.

Almost ready to go live here.

The pages have been completely updated from Will's old site (last updated 2006!).  It is hoped that with this new platform, we'll have an easier time updating images &c.
