2012 Flying Horse
Outdoor Sculpture Exhibit
Pingree
September 1 – November 18
Welcome
to Pingree’s third annual
Flying Horse
Outdoor Sculpture Exhibit
The exhibition’s title comes from the home Mr. and Mrs. Sumner Pingree established
on this property in 1931. Flying Horse Farm was named in honor of the flagship of the
shipping fleet owned by Mary Weld Pingree’s father. Shortly after the Pingrees gave
their land for the establishment of Pingree School, the institution adopted the Pegasus,
the flying horse of Greek myth, as its mascot.
Why have an outdoor sculpture show at Pingree? First, our open vistas, hedge garden,
pond, and entry drive all provide picturesque backdrops for art. Our reasons, however,
go much deeper. Art has always been an integral part of a Pingree education. All
students engage in fine and performing arts classes; they learn how art expands their
minds, brings joy, and affords them a deeper, more nuanced understanding of the
world around them. We believe in the importance of the creative ritual and its place in
our lives. This annual exhibition is a reminder and commitment to this ethos.
This year’s show is bigger and better than ever, with 36 works of art by 25 artists. I invite
you to walk the grounds, to breathe deeply and reflect, and to enjoy thought-provoking
pieces by many of New England’s finest sculptors.
In closing, special thanks to Judy Klein, Pingree’s Director of Communications and
Marketing, for her tireless effort to make this exhibition a reality, to parent volunteer
Sudie Fay for her critical assistance, and to Joanne Patton for being a community force
and long-time friend and supporter of Pingree School.
Sincerely,
Dr. Timothy M. Johnson
Head of School
A Message from our Honorary Chairperson
I am not a sculptor – but an appreciator! I am honored to join with you for the
privilege and pleasure of experiencing the creativity and skills of the outstanding
artists Pingree School has brought together for this year’s Flying Horse Outdoor
Sculpture exhibit. What a joy it is to be able to wander through the lovely grounds
of this special site and let the artists’ works speak to us individually, as we come
upon each one. Every viewer, of every age, will benefit. Thank you to Pingree for
offering this gift of love and learning to our community!

John Ashworth
John Ashworth’s education was in design, engineering, and fine arts. He has exhibited
at the Krakow Gallery, DeCordova Museum, Rose Art Gallery (Brandeis University), and
the Currier Museum.
“I like the concept of sculpture that moves and/or responds to the environment. Most
of my indoor and outdoor work has a kinetic characteristic. As the viewer moves in
and around the installation, perceptions change. The limits of the work expand and
contract; some colors vanish and other colors appear. Each point of view in time spent
becomes a slightly different event.”

Richard Bertman
Richard Bertman is a registered architect and a sculptor who was
educated at Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, and the University of California at Berkeley. He is
a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects and a founding
principal of CBT/Childs BertmanTseckares Inc., an awardwinning Boston architectural firm. He formerly taught at the
Rhode Island School of Design and the Boston Architectural
Center, and has been a visiting critic at Harvard, M.I.T., and
Tuskegee Institute.
Richard has worked in the medium of welded steel and carved
wood sculpture for 45 years. “Some of my sculptures using steel
rod or wire are like drawings in air. As with drawings on paper,
the viewer visually fills in the surface between lines to create form
and shape. The transparence of the piece expresses both near and
distant elements simultaneously. This interaction of elements
within the sculpture gives the impression of change as one moves
around it.”
“ ‘Icarus’ is a kinetic sculpture inspired by the Greek myth of
the boy who flew too close to the sun. ‘Paper Doll Machine’
(in collaboration with Louisa Bertman), created for the Boston
Children’s Museum’s Windows Project, responds to the museum’s
collection of paper doll manuscripts. ‘Ode to My Erector Set’ is a
fantasy recollection of my toy construction set, which was my first
introduction to architecture and making things that move.”

Dave Carpenter ’87
A Pingree alumnus, Dave has taken the untraditional approach to life. After graduating
from college, he spent the next decade traveling and working his way around the
world. During this time, Dave added 64 stamps to his passport including Antarctica
where he worked for three years. Exploring the world exposed Dave to a myriad of
people, cultures, environments and art forms, giving him an unparalleled education
and appreciation for our planet. While on these journeys art became an integral part of
Dave’s life, beginning while on a backpacking trip in New Zealand. Dave had become
very intimate with the local mosquito population and decided to honor them by
carving one out of driftwood. This mosquito became the first of many hand carved
memories from around the world.
Dave continues to make sculptures while living in Ipswich with his wife, Jess. His
sculptures are still inspired by his surroundings and found materials however
they have grown in size. “Fowl Ball” is no exception, as he is made it from an aunt’s
championship bowling ball, tools from the farm, and the newly acquired skill of
welding.
“Fowl Ball”: Metal, bowling balls; $950

David Davies
David is an artist and residential
architect living in Newburyport, MA.
He participated in the first Flying
Horse exhibit in 2010 and is among
the organizers of the Outdoor
Sculpture at Maudslay exhibit at
Maudslay State Park each year. While
David has been known to create large
scale environmental sculpture using
corrugated plastic and zip ties, he
primarily works in wood to create
architectonic totems inspired by the
geometries of nature and machines.
Utilizing simple rhythms and
repetitive form, his work presents
a machine aesthetic in striking
contrast to the natural landscape.
Dave considers each of his pieces,
in addition to serving as sculptures,
as mapping devices in denial of
themselves as temporary constructs.

Anthony is a Pingree alumnus and an art teacher at North Andover High School. He
currently lives in Somerville with his true love, Rebecca, and their two cats, Patches and
Dusty. He hopes to continue making art and inspiring others to do the same. This is
his first show and he is honored by the opportunity.
“My creative process is based on reuniting industrial matter with natural forms. This
particular piece is derived from a smaller sculpture created from found materials and is
in reverence of my favorite work from Classical Greece, the Nike of Samothrace. “

Roger DiTarando
Roger DiTarando is a sculptor of singular craftsmanship and inventive precision who
uses a variety of techniques in his unique sculptures. His high level of technical skill
coupled with his attention to detail and insight into the unpredictability of nature
allow him to elevate a static moment to one of fluidity and movement. He has spent
the last 35 years forging a reputation as a traditionalist who breaks the rules as well
as an innovator who pays homage to the past. He embraces a philosophy of using
primitive construction methods while exploring primal relationships that continue to
be a personal fascination.
“Herons”: Bronze, copper, and stainless steel; $5,500 each

Steve Doe
Steve Doe, founder of Whitten Hill Studio, LLC in Kennebunkport, Maine, has been
interested in wood and making things with it for over 30 years. He is a self taught
woodworker and his projects have been diverse in scale, from jewelry boxes and toys
to furniture to a child’s playhouse and ultimately his own home. His work includes
custom, upscale rustic style furniture and garden elements for destination resorts
and inns as well as for individuals with refined but rustic taste. While his furniture
design is heirloom quality, it is relaxed, comfortable and functional. He believes rustic
Adirondack furniture doesn’t have to be ordinary or rudimentary, but it doesn’t have to
be gaudy or overdone, either. There is an artistic, enlightened apex that Whitten Hill
Studio has reached and holds for its own.
Steve has a B.S. in Landscape Architecture from the Ohio State University (1986) and
his eye for organic design extends to commercial and residential development. He is
a Registered Landscape Architect in the state of Maine and is also a LEEDs certified
“green” designer.

Shawn Farrell
Shawn Farrell is an artist and
educator living in Hamilton, MA.
Originally from western New York
he received a BFA from Hartwick
College where he specialized in
Glassblowing and bronze foundry.
He polished his techniques while
living on the West Coast working for
various artists from Alaska to New
Mexico. He has shown in various
galleries and does many private
commissions. He prefers not to
limit himself to any one medium,
but finds himself continually
drawn to working with glass and
metal.
“When you are accustomed to
seeing something in the same way
day after day, you tend to forget
the beauty that is held within it.
With my work I like to take the
observer to a place that they may
have been before but have not seen in such
a way. This allows the viewer to experience a new
perspective on his or her own world and their place
in it. It allows them to find the inherent beauty in all
things.”

Gordon Frost
Gordon Frost is a retired Salisbury fire captain who began buying and selling antiques.
He also began experimenting with one of his trades, welding. Starting small at first
with metal rods and old rusty hand tools, he began making his creations. From a stick
man made from railroad spikes to small garden sculptures his talents were quickly
recognized. His art was often selling faster than it could be made. Many of his creations
can be found throughout the country and some permanently stationed nearby, like the
fireman statue erected outside the fire station in Amesbury, MA. Most of his art is done
in the moment, but he can use his talents to create something with your inspiration.

Richard Gerber is a painter,
sculptor and printmaker. He is a
Blanche Colman Grant recipient
and an Arts for the Banks Bronze
Medalist. He lives and works in
Fremont, NH.
“The creative process remains a
mystery to me. I find materials
that appeal to me and let the
materials assemble themselves. I
help them along in a process that
seems more like reconstruction
than construction.”

Michael Guadagno
“My sculptures vary from the abstract geometric to the organic with forms suggestive
of nature. They engage the viewer not only by stimulating the imagination, but also
the senses, through touch and visual experience. My sculptures often employ light,
movement, or sound, establishing an aesthetical and physical connection between the
sculpture and the individual, reenforcing the experience of the viewer.”

Jay Havighurst
Sound sculptor Jay Havighurst works in
Essex, MA. He is the author of Making Musical
Instruments By Hand, a book on building
musical instruments published by Quarry
Books. A 1980 graduate of Mass College
of Arts Sculpture Department and Studio
for Interrelated Media, Jay has shown his
sculpture throughout New England and has
arranged music for dance performances
including Nancy Compton’s Ancient Ocean,
and Exit Dance in Beyond the Hedge. Jay
plays in the improvisational band, The Free
Range Experiment. Their recent release,
Levitation, is now available on iTunes. Jay
and his wife Lynne have a design firm,
Artfluence, designing web, social media marketing and print graphics.
“My sculpture requires me to be part fine art
sculptor, part musical instrument maker, and
part musician. My work is best described as
an interactive sound environment that, as a
sculpture, is a dynamic inter medium. Materials
are especially important—wood for its acoustic
resonance and surface richness; aluminum
for its sonic properties and reflective light
properties; and steel for its mass. Sometimes
for me, searching and learning about sound
leads to a different result than the work I intend to create. Often discovery is my best
guide. Each sculpture relies on specific acoustic and aesthetic qualities to form and
shape the work. My designs scale up, establishing a sense of place, hopefully to remind
the participant to not simply walk around my work, but to interact with it. Often warm
and deeply carved surfaces make you want to touch the sculptures. I greatly enjoy the
audiences participation in my work—together unlocking its hidden meaning and
purpose. My goal as a creator, as a searcher of illusive sound properties, goes well
beyond the physical material I explore by asking all of you to join and listen.”

R. Jason Howard
R. Jason Howard is a progressive glass artist who specializes in borosilicate
flameworking. He lives in Skaneateles, NY with his wife and children, blowing glass full
time and running his production studio, Cicada Glassworks. His current work draws
on a unique combination of traditional Italian techniques and self-invented processes
to create large, organic, colorful forms that push the boundaries of what flameworked
glass can do.
“My current work and series, ‘Soul Cages: An exploration of change, time, and process,’
is about inner life forces. The simple bubble is the genesis of all blown forms, perhaps
even the soul of glass. I prefer blown glass forms because they capture a unique part
of the hand made artistic
process—the human
breath. In this series, I’ve
tried to ‘let go’, allowing
the bubbles to expand as
large as they can without
too much control over
their shape as they inflate
in one breath. Piercing the
bubbles with a flame leaves
only their pure essence.
These captured forms are
reduced to their absolute
basic structure or inner life
force. They are not stitched
or woven, but rather blown,
manipulated, and finally
revealed. Layers of fumed
gold and silver amplify their
ability to capture, hold, and
reflect light’s divine mystic
qualities.”

John Kuykendall
John Kuykendall is a sculptor/artist who lives in Rockport with his family. His designs
are all created from local granite. He sees his creations, which range from the abstract
to more natural designs, within the beauty and color of the stone. His designs are in
private collections in Boston, Maine, and throughout the North Shore.
Jonah , with his peaceful smile, embraces the beauty of nature. Laurie’s Rose embodies
the beauty of a rose, with petals carved into granite and the stem of copper.

Jill Nooney
Jill Nooney was educated at Bennington
College, Smith College School of Social
Work, and the Radcliffe Seminars
Program in Landscape Design. She has
participated in numerous group shows
and had a solo show at St. Botolph’s
Club in Boston.
“As an artist and landscape designer,
making art for the garden is a
natural fit. I often make pieces from
disassembled farm equipment. I like
the synergy of going from working
the soil to returning to the garden.
I also like preserving pieces of our
agricultural heritage, much of it over
a hundred years old. My yard is a
huge mess of metal detritus collected
over decades of visiting flea markets,
metal junk yards, and by knocking
on the doors of auspicious-looking
back fields.”

Kim Radochia
Kim Radochia is an artist
based out of Boston whose
sculptures, installations,
drawings, and public
works have been exhibited
in group and solo
exhibitions throughout
the United States for
the past 20 years. Her
site-specific sculptures are installed in public and
private locations, often in nontraditional venues.
She has been chosen to design and install public
works in residential communities, schools, office
buildings, and nature conservancies.
Recent exhibitions and installations include an
invitation to exhibit at the Bayfront Nogucci
Park at the Miami International Art Fair, Adelphi
University’s Sculpture Biennial and a solo
exhibition at the McCoy Gallery at Merrimack
College. Permanent installations include greater
Boston schools, hospitals in New Hampshire and
Massachusetts, and a Main St. Public sculpture in
Florida.
Radochia attended the School of the Museum
of Fine Arts in Boston. In 2010 Trinity Financial
awarded her a commission for an atrium sculpture called ‘Currents’ at Appleton Mills
in Lowell, Massachusetts. In addition she was a finalist in the Boston Public Library
Mattapan Branch Sculpture project sponsored by the Edward Ingersol Browne Fund
in 2009 and the Mother’s Rest Park Project sponsored by the New England Foundation
for the Arts and the Boston Parks and Recreation Department in 2007. Last year she
was featured in Art New England as three sculptors to watch in an article titled, “Setting
the Pace” by David Raymond.

Ken Reker
Ken Reker, Associate Professor of Art at Salem State University, received his MFA in
sculpture from the Art Institute of Chicago and a BFA in drawing and printing from
the University of Louisville. His public commission for the Boston Children’s Museum
was an assemblage of objects from the museum’s Chinese collection into a large
window installation that represented a three-dimensional Chinese landscape painting.
“For this year’s exhibition, I have continued to utilize that ubiquitous object in our
environment, the plastic bottle. ‘Fountain’ is a kinetic, wind driven sculpture. Its
structural form recalls Marcel Duchamps’ first ready-made, a bottle washer rack.
‘Tip of the Iceberg, Bottom of the Barrell’ is a floating sculpture made of hundreds of
plastic bottles. It may suggest our dangerous relationship with plastic.”

Dale Rogers
Dale Rogers, award-winning metal
sculptor, takes pleasure in creating work
that inspires the public to think about
the world differently. His goal is to
create thought-provoking work that is
sophisticated, easily recognized, and serves
as a mental postcard. He believes that by
adding sculpture to the public landscape,
communities are forever enhanced and
the art serves as a reflection of the quality
of those communities.
Dale has won first place or best in show
in several exhibitions, including the
Westport, Connecticut Fine Art Show
and Promenade of Art in Illinois. Dale
enjoys spending time with friends
and family, flying kites at the beach,
running, Karaoke, and camping in his
1970’s Volkswagen Vanagon.
“What can I say about ‘Think and Be Free’? I just
love it; I feel it elevates my work to a new level. I am very proud of the design, the
craftsmanship, and the visual effect that this piece imparts. The design comes from
my strong belief, once again that thoughts and ideas lead to actions, which lead us
to freedom and choices. This sculpture has the fabricated tube design element that
introduces a line drawing into the 3-D art. It is a new concept for me and one that I
think I will continue with as I like the impact it creates.
Around the same time as designing this piece, I spent a lot of time and focus on clocks
and gears. I would love to make a large scale clock sculpture, with moving gears. As part
of my ‘research’ I designed and built a few gears and when I was deciding what I wanted
to put into the head for this sculpture, the gears seemed like a natural fit. The large gear
in the middle is kinetic and rotates when acted upon.”

Gene Sheehan
Gene Sheehan wanted to try something different with his welding skills and wound up
producing an eight-foot-long working cod fish weathervane in steel for his front lawn.
Since then, he has created several small origami-like sculptures, also in steel, for homes
and gardens around the North Shore. Much of the inspiration for his work comes
from the natural beauty and wildlife that surround the home he shares with his wife
and dogs on Rings Island.

Duncan Smith
Duncan Smith spent a career designing educational materials, furniture and exhibits
for museums, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and many other historical and
cultural institutions. He has been concerned about the relationship between the design
process, works of art and the spaces they inhabit.
“I have been making mobiles for a long time. Most were suspended on drop wires and
some were mounted on bases. Time for a change! Using the techniques and materials
of my mobile craft, I have evolved a new family of designs that are playful wire and
painted metal objects, using wind to move, not as mobiles do, but as wind toys. From
table-based ‘vegetables’ I have developed large exterior lawn-based wind toys. The goal
is always to give pleasure to the viewer and have fun as the maker.
The work in this exhibit could exist at any scale. This piece is a medium-sized edition
of this windtoy design. It is painted bright red to grab the eye. The smaller top disks of
the piece are placed to create a hunting motion in the wind; they never quite allow the
larger disk to rest.”

Bart Stuyf
Bart lives by the sea in Gloucester, Massachusetts. He started his career as a dancer
and choreographer in the Netherlands. His groundbreaking avant garde company was
called MultiMedia. He continues to work in many media: copper, soapstone, wood, and
even recycled styrofoam. All of his work reflects both his interest in movement and his
whimsical sense of humor.

Michael J. Updike ’77
Michael Updike grew up on the North Shore and graduated from Pingree School in
1977. He attended Lawrence University, received his BFA from Mass College of Art,
and his MFA from Vermont College. Since 1991, he has been a designer for Mariposa, a
tabletop and gift company. At Mariposa he has created thousands of serveware pieces,
mostly in alternative metals, but some in ceramic and polymers. You may view this
work at mariposa-gift.com . He has recently moved from Newburyport to Newbury. He
is the father of two boys, Trevor, 17, and Sawyer, 15.
“This is the first in a series of
headstones where I explore the
emotional tides and eddies of
knowing mortality. In creating
my own gravestone I have
an unnerving artifact of, or
monument to, my life lived.
By seeing it I have a look
into a future where my life
remains in the past tense. It
is the last detail. The period
concluding a sentence. All
proclaiming a simple yet
important fact ‘I was here’.
Graveyards themselves are
democratic sculpture parks.
They grow from individual
contributions yet often
in a style that reflect the
society’s attitude with
mortality. We have the stark and lecturing
soul effigies of our colonial past, the mourning willow tree, to the demure
victorian allegory of death as a ‘rest’ or ‘sleep’ often depicted with comforting angel
imagery. My goal and hope is to elicit a shared moment of joy from someone not yet
born who happens upon my stone and can glean from it that life is our friend.”
“My Gravestone”: Slate (recycled sink); Commissions start at $5,000
