Stephen Spaccarelli used 495 sawed-off glass water bottles to create
Vessels, a mixed-media sculpture (pictured on the cover and above) on display through February 11 at Yellow Bird Gallery, 19 Front St., in Newburgh. The glasses in
Vessels are suspended by filament from the ceiling in the gallery's atrium, with water dripping from a reservoir into the glasses and a pool below. Spaccarelli said that sound, and how people would experience the piece in the space were his guiding influences in the construction of
Vessels. "When I first saw the [Yellow Bird] space, I wanted to drop water and fill the space with sound. I wanted to create a choir of vessels."
