The Stone Museum hosted a concrete fish brick show around a small mirror pond for a number of years. We are moving to Mexico. Where will the fish bricks go next?

The flying beetle, simple beginnings! It began as a coloring project among several local schools and random others. For a few years it could be seen seen in the driveway at the ArtYard, also a place of simple beginnings for long range, risky creative projects which go off in many directions. The Flying Beetle has gone home to East Brunswick Foreign & Domestic Cars, Harts Ln.

In this video is also what remains of the HUBCAP show, almost 300 hubcaps painted and glued, etc, dents and rust a plus, which was also at the Stone Museum, up high for a number of years.

Maintaining it was allot of climbing. Now it is down low at a secret location in East Brunswick.

The merger of two PVC sculpture shows has remnants both in front of the ArtYard and in front of the small building at Eighteen Lumber Company. Until October 2008 there were a number of pipes at UMDNJ, Piscataway, NJ. Cleaned out now and moving on!
The EYE on 18!
A slice of a tree which resembled an eye socket. Sculptor Bernard Axelrod further embellished it with nails, painted cat's eye yellow. It is firmly anchored to the outside wall, high up and under plexi glass at Eighteen Lumber Company. The EYE on 18! Raised when everyone was younger and riskier!

The EYE is a heavy piece. It was first spotted in a dark corner of Bernie's basement.

Why, Bernie, is such a beautiful piece down here in a dark corner of your basement?

"I can't pick it up anymore"..was the response. We will heft it up for you Bernie..and we did..with young, hardy men and a lift at 18 Lumber, up it went.

EYE on 18, an optical illusion..a sculptural, digital piece..a forager of things to come.

Bernie is deceased now but his EYE looks out over Rt.18 ...down the road a pace from the impending Golden Triangle!

That Golden Triangle reminds me of Lincoln Center's restaurant area a few years back. The dining area also had triangles on the surrounding walls...women's triangular bikini briefs..done in fauvist colors.

A community creates together year round.

The last portion of the video is of the East Brunswick Visual Art Celebration where the 18 Lumber Company Truck has made an appearance for its second year.

It is a good place, the local pond for many kinds of creative efforts to come together.

One magic day out of 367 other magic days in which humanity thrives and creates willy nilly without thought of sales but for the pure fun of it.

Thanks to the East Brunswick Department of Recreation and also the Art Commission for their hearty efforts to make a great day.

A great big Thank you to Michael Lewin for his help as video consultant for this video and to all those who make bare walls and feasible spaces available to create with imagination.

Little Bobby Duncan got up high to do the bananas, Claudia Moore, Trenton, worked magic on the raspberries, but the overall composition and maintenance of all is Judy's, running around like a bee between all the different locations with the exception of Magnificos and MidState Pools.
