| Herb Ferris, who was a painter showing
in New York for thirty years, began making sculpture with his work
for dance in the nineties. The Japanese style pieces for a large installation
at the Hood Museum at Dartmouth were used by choreographers in Northampton,
at M.I.T. and at Middlebury College where Ferris then made pieces
for the Dance Department over the next five years. Beginning in 1998,
he began working in stone and wood, mostly outdoor pieces that are
now in gardens in ten states and Canada. |
