New View is a public art installation that consists of a set of 8 wooden swings suspended in trees, intentionally placed too high for use as swings. The original New View took place in December of 2018, in trees belonging to my neighbors in the East Deering neighborhood of Portland, Maine. New View 2 has been approved by the City of Portland Public Art Committee and will be installed for six weeks in Deering Oaks Park between April 5 and May 19.
