THE RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT : Battenkill Inspired
Several years ago The Crandall Library in Glens Falls, New York had an exhibition called. "Battenkill Inspired". This year Hannah deGarmo started filming the people in that exhibition. All of us live on or near the river. I traverse it every day on my way to the studio. Finding how to convey both the look and feeling of this river has preoccupied me for years.
