My first visit to New York, in the Summer of 1966, was at the invitation of Richard Feigen, who arranged an opportunity for me to produce work in the city for a Fall exhibition at his New York Gallery, which I shared with David Hall. Three pieces were fabricated there, and one brought over from the UK for the show. The image for the poster, used for this page background and above, is excerpted from working drawings for "Concentric Nested Quadrants."

In 1969 I was invited by Tejas Engelsmith to install a solo exhibition of my maquettes for a series of large scale panel sculptures at The Jewish Museum in New York, invoking architectural and landscape based forms, and including "Kentucky Grass" the first full size panel sculpure fabricated in the United States. Recent digital models reconstructed in 3D Studio Max are rendered below.

On May 2nd, 1970, I opened the exhibition program in Richard Feigen's new Gallery at 27 East 79th Street with a one man show surveying the range of work I had produced since returning to the U. S. A., including the panel sculpture maquettes and further sculptures addressing landscape and architectural forms. The poster displays a contact sheet of b/w positive film showing the installation of "Catherine" at Jim Meeker's residence in Fort Worth.
