I made this roughly 11-by-25-foot piece for a wall in my studio

at the Saltonstall Foundation, located outside Ithaca, New York,

a region known for its numerous gorges and waterfalls.

After visiting a few of them, I was inspired to integrate

the idea of the waterfall with the studio wall’s rather awkward shape,

formed by the room’s peaked ceiling, two doors, and various mechanical panels.
