The Inflection Point
"A trip to New York City to visit Abrams Publishing House about my upcoming book led to the discovery of forty acres on the Upper West Side owned by the Trump Organization. The Old Penn Square rail station was slated for development and for six months we negotiated for the site against other interests seeking Trump's attention and money. A decision was finally reached by The Trump Organization to allow me to create the image of my choice and that no money would exchange hands.
College students, brothers, artists, and three homeless men worked the summer away planting squash, cucumbers, tomatoes, soybeans, corn, and grass along side rocks, mulch, found materials and flowers to coax out the earthwork. The Image, in the undulating style of Tom Benton, depicted a country road leading out of the pristine Kansas landscape of my youth, juxtaposed against the steel and concrete canyons of Manhattan Island.“
Countryside | NYC | 1994
Inspiration for the film “Earthwork” which won awards at more than 50 film festivals in the U.S.

“easily the most powerful work of my life”
I Have a White Rose to Tend
I have a white rose to tend In July as in January; I give it to the true friend Who offers his frank hand to me. And for the cruel one whose blows Break the heart by which I live, Thistle nor thorn do I give: For him, too, I have a white rose. Jose Marti
The school children from the outskirts of Havana helped pull weeds on the image of the White Rose.
Grandson of Jose Marti and his wife …along with the Cespedes family, heralded as the people who led the revolt against Spanish Rule.
