I created the photographic construction "Serkin at Marlboro" in 1996 as part of a series of constructions based upon the performing arts. Rudolf Serkin the late eminent pianist was the artistic director of the Marlboro Music Festival where my childhood summers were spent and where I later went on to photograph. He had a profound influence on how I look at life and art. The work is comprised of wood, found objects and photographic silver prints that are toned, bleached, painted and mounted on wood.
