DONALD BAECHLER
New York City
Entering Donald’s studio I couldn’t help but feeling like a child again… Paintings and sculptures of giant flowers and Ice cream cones, drippings of Crayola crayon colors seem to dance on a wall, telling the story of all the paintings that were created on it.
Donald had mentioned he was installing one of his “Walking Figure” sculptures at Westhampton Airport in Long Island, New York. So when the day came I drove from Brooklyn to see exactly what he was talking about. There it was, in pieces on the earth, shining silver in the hot summer sun. Watching it be raised from the ground to its perch, 30 feet high, I ran into the tall green grass and turned around to witness it touching the sky.
