Alphabet City, New York
Finally got to hang out at the Brooklyn Navy Yard - it was fantastic!! Wandered around the old dry dock, huge red crane next to it, along one of the old docks with a fantastic view of the williamsburg bridge, chrysler building in the background and a working ship in front, moving big hunks of metal on cranes. Tovey uses a metalwork studio there, and was finishing a piece for a russian sculptor in nyc. Watched as he, marcel and geoff hammered the tip and ring for a 'cockscrew' about 2 feet of solid steel - very cool. Then went in to Sokov's studio to deliver it, fantastic paintings, more metal sculptures, and a wall of crazy wooden pieces that all moved when the string was pulled - very clever. back up to the country today - some unfinished tasks to do there!
