PAMET TIDE TRACING a sculpture made for the site in Truro, Massachusetts wow! this was a difficult piece to make.  for many years I strive to work in a simple way, with the least  number of lines to to make my art.  but when I returned to this place after 6 years the area is different, wider and more open.  This is below Corn Hill, a tidal estuary on the bay side of Truro, on Cape Cod.  I make  these works when the tide is out and I use materials like I used before m..

MEANDERING MOMENT faces the end of the earth on the tip of Cape Cod I am in the process of making MEANDERING MOMENT in a small bay area in the tidal basin of the Moors at the end of Provincetown, Cape Cod.  I arrive of this site with the phragmites reeds that I gathered in Truro, the next town where they grow well and are relatively easy to pick.  They are considered invasive so I must be careful not to spread them.  I use the reeds that grew last year, dead dry..

Roy F. Staab bio. Roy F. Staab   It took ten years for my art to evolve from painting, to line structure on paper, to installation.  In 1983 started to make works in/over water -- large works, using only natural materials that I gathered near by.    I would go to natural sites and make art for me, photograph it and tell people about it.  In the beginning it was North Carolina, Brooklyn or Long Island. Then I beca..
