Sculpture Residency & Exhibition
The team at the Sage Street Mill is pleased to announce that we are hosting the artist Bill Botzow - Bill lives in Pownal, Vermont. He was born in NYC in 1945 and grew up in Mt. Kisco, NY. He graduated from Princeton University in 1968, moved to NYC and worked in the N.Y. Urban League Street Academy Program for two years. He relocated to rural West Virginia in the seventies, then lived in Vermont, Arizona, Oregon, Montana, and Colorado until he moved in 1982 to Pownal, VT with his wife Ruth.
He has exhibited regionally, nationally and internationally.
"In recent years my work has engaged directly with the natural environment. Ongoing projects often use material gathered in efforts to improve the health of my small post agricultural woodland. Examples are trees destroyed by severe weather events and invasive species gathered in combating forest infestations. My aim is an art form that enhances and values natural processes and places."
