I live in Provincetown, MA, which is a small village that sits on both the Atlantic Ocean and Cape Cod Bay. It is a tourist town in the summer and almost completely deserted in the winter. On the ocean side there are small shacks built in the dunes in the 1910's for the wives of the "coast guard ." Later they were taken over by artists and writers like Eugene O'Neill. Now they are leased out by the National Seashore, which owns them, to a mix of old families that got them back in the 20's, non-profit care-taking trusts and some art/community organizations. Last summer (1998) I was awarded a three week residency at the C-SCAPE Dune Shack to turn the shack into a camera. This was going to be my first experiment with a live-in, life-sized pinhole camera. Heaven.
