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.
