you're invited to play the role of “observer" (re) constructing Sol LeWitt's Forms derived from a Cube
Since art is a vehicle for the transmission of ideas through form, the reproduction of the form only reinforces the concept. It is the idea that is being reproduced. Anyone who understands the work of art owns it. We all own the Mona Lisa.

a Chicken who crossed the road.
A Paduan (English) aka Padovana (Italian) young white cockeral followed her home to make his in Sandrow’s open air studio (March 28, 2006). Named Shinnecock for where they met: on hills once painted by plein air painter William Merritt Chase when he lived and work nearby. The sun and moon subjects of her work as was Paduan (English) aka Padovana (Italian) Galileo Galilei who’s practice of camera obscura was Sandrow’s too at that moment.

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul.
And sings the tune
Without the words,
and never stops at all.
