"Working with the Pritzker Gallery has been such a pleasure.
The space is unique and exquisite. Elisa is attentive to every detail.
My work was hung with great care and sensitivity. I feel fortunate
to have Elisa Pritzker and her stunning gallery in the Hudson Valley."

"Exhibiting at Ms. Prizker's space has been a wonderful opportunity
to view my work in a unique environment. The curve of the walls
creates a womb-like enclosure for the art, lending an intimacy
to the experience unlike any other." Joanne Klein

The piece derives from Meadow’s Green Wood Spirits Series

and Elisa Pritzker's Nature versus Technology installations.

This is a model of a larger piece that the overall structure

will resemble a large outline arch passageway and square

room built from natural and recycled twigs or tree saplings.

Additional branches will be laid across the top providing

a structure to support the cast-off wires and cables and re-used CDs.

The viewer’s attention is drawn to the beauty and simplicity

of thenatural lines of the strong outside structure by wrapping

them with thousands of miniature lights. Lighting is an important

element in the piece; casting dramatic shadowson the landscape,

silhouetting the powerfulness of the form andreflecting on the CD’s

as they revolve in the wind, producing rainbowsand color flashes

that resemble a cosmic sunset. The cast-off wires and cables

individually hung down in even rows from the overhead branches

create pathways from former industrial production. They were

collected from years of computer users, old equipments, and

bygone electronics that focus attention on the wasted resources

thrown away on a daily basis.

The viewer is drawn to the charming quality and uniqueness of the

wires themselves as the playfully dance ever waiting instruction

to perform their intended tasks of yesteryear.

Through the “Cast Off-Industrial Arch Room” installation the

intention is to evoke the industrial era by re-using supplies produced

by the early manufacturing companies. At the same time, to establish

the creative potential and richness of cast-off materials and natural

resources forworks of art.
