COSMOS BATHOS and ALMOST. AGAIN. ALMOST. ONE MORE TIME. are intimate works--cast concrete building with a small windows at eyelevel. Rather than integrate the work with an existing space, these works create private spaces for a viewer or two.

Inside COSMOS BATHOS a pool of oil bubbles while the smell of oil wafts through a tiny brass tube projecting out of the wall near the window.

ALMOST. AGAIN. ALMOST. ONE MORE TIME. features a 30-second movie on a 2.5-inch LCD screen.

Fog and rubber augment the existing and perhaps never quite completed terrace adjacent to the lower lawn and overlooking the Hudson River, creating a mix of romance and mayhem often associated with the weather. The work introduces traces of activity, oddly colored puddles, and of course the intermittent fog, making an awkward site potentially habitable. The weather itself and four automated values constantly change the density of fog, offering a varied view and a respite from the heat
