Bruce Campbell's work was hand powered and whimsical.

Also on display were the winged sculptures of David Lang. His work is powered by electricity and activated by an electric eye sensing the presence of a viewer nearby. It was all about watching the wings move.

Below is a video of the artist talking about his work from several years ago. There is some great footage of the wings in motion.
David and I are always on the look out for exposure to creativity and evenings such as this one are great places to see lots. Experiencing the creativity of others is one of the greatest inspirations in our own work.
We had a great butternut squash and pesto pizza at The Fireworks in downtown Brattleboro to end the evening and then headed back to Connecticut.
