Dennis Grady has been an exhibiting artist since 1973.

The piece shown here, "Settler's Scope (Dedicated to the Abenaki Nation)" first appeared at Sculpturefest in 1993. It was invited back in 1999 because of its appropriateness to that year's theme of "stewardship of the land."

Constructed of painted PVC pipe, brass chain, fittings, and ortho film, the scope is suspended from a tree branch. To view the landscape through the scope, the viewer must peer through the words "occupied territory."

Grady's photo/video/sound installations have been shown recently at The Main Street Museum of Art in White River Junction, Vermont; AS220 Gallery in Providence; and The University of Rhode Island Fine Arts Center in Kingston. His contribution to this year's Sculpturefest is this web site.
