Opus 40

We finally make it for a full tour of Opus 40 sculpture garden.  It is just 20 minutes from Kingston but we managed only an abbreviated evening visit this summer. Huge rock structures/earthworks emerge from a retired bluestone quarry.  Spring-fed pools are scattered throughout.  The scale is amazing and the fact that it exists as a labor of love of one artist, Harvey Fite, created over nearly 40 years is remarkable.   He used traditional quarryman’s tools and was definitely obsessed with his work.  Probably was tough to be married to him but we are fortunate to be able to come here to enjoy his work.  Very cool.
