Bitterest Sweet, 2025, is a site-specific art installation presented as part of the Sculpture @ Sylvester Manor: Paradise Lost exhibition curated by Tom Cugliani. The exhibit opened on Shelter Island, NY, on June 14th, 2025, and will be free and open to the public until September 14th, 2025. The exhibit is open dawn to dusk, 7 days a week. Located at Sylvester Manor / 80 North Ferry Road / Shelter, Island, NY.
Bitterest Sweet is dedicated to the enslaved Africans, Indigenous Manhansett People, and the Irish and English indentured servants who lived, worked, and died at Sylvester Manor. Bitterest Sweet features a walkway in the shape of the Nkyinkyim ‘twisting’ symbol of the Adinkra, which represents the Gyaman people of Ghana and the Côte d'Ivoire. The Nkyinkyim is a symbol representing the torturous nature of life's journey and the toughness, versatility, and dynamism required to thrive in it. It is also a symbol of dedication to service. The wavy line, which forms the main component in the design of the Nkyinkyim, depicts the meandering course of life’s journey. These ‘twists and turns’ stand as a monument to the adaptability, resilience, and versatility of those who came before, who navigated through life's complexities with wisdom and strength. The proverb associated with this symbol is “Ɔbra kwan yɛ nkyinkyimii,” which, when translated, means “Life’s road is twisted.”

Mixed media, 2021
10 x 120 Feet
A live performance with original music, and dance that invites visitors to consider the fragility of nature through an imagined clear cutting of the Ashley Schiff forest. The project will visualize how nature can be transformed overnight into yet another development or carpark. The sharp, glossy colors of the cut-outs will contrast with the graceful beauty of nature, construction equipment will mingle with the deciduous forest.

1.5 Million New Yorkers Can’t Afford Food and Food Pantries Are Their Lifeline. Tens of thousands have shown up at food banks since the pandemic began People who were already going to the pantries have grown more reliant on them. –The New York Times
Instead of spending $$$ on art supplies CANs of food were purchased and became the art installation. Nonperishable foods were accepted at the gallery and at the end of the show all the foods collected were donated to Long Island Cares and The Stony Brook Food Pantry.
The goal was to bring awareness and food to where it’s needed. A set of 44 British food slang labels, such as; Bubble & Squeak, fairy cake, scotch egg and be mom were created to wrap around the cans. The cans are then stacked in a pyramid and displayed in the gallery.
Viewers are invited to make a food donation of nonperishable foods canned food (the list of foods accepted will be displayed). They then select a British food label (All 44 labels displayed on a workstation), and wrap the label around their donated cans. In the final step they place their newly wrapped cans with it’s British label on the stacked displays along with the other cans. A Covid friendly setup.
As an artists gesture I created some signed prints on watercolor paper of the labels and food givers were welcome to take one.
