"The Wet Land" was installed in 1993 in the Editorial Offices of the New England Journal of Medicine, which is housed in the Countway Library of the Harvard Medical School. The site is a 25' limestone wall in the reception area of the offices, which is also a work area for several people. This piece is made of 18 panels of flashed glass, acid etched and painted with vitreous paints, enamels and silver stains. The panels are supported 8" in front of the limestone wall by cast bronze elements which reveal drawings done in the mold. "The Wet Land" is an abstraction of the salt marsh. The theme of the marsh was suggested by the horizontality of the site. However, it is also used as a metaphor for the issues which the Journal deals with every week: life and death, health and disease, growth and decay.
