A video through the Montessori Sensory Arbor
This video was shot in my shop when it was built for testing and ergonomic appropriateness. The shop was in the Bethany Arts Community in Ossining, NY. It was a great joy to create it there surrounded by painters, dancers, writers, musicians, who would periodically pop in to offer thoughts and support.
The arbor then went from Ossining, up to Binghamton, NY in the fall of 2023.
