The Rosemary Mayer (b. 1943, Ridgewood, New York, d. 2014, New York City) workshop was co-convened by Amy Tobin and Mayer’s Estate Manager Marie Warsh. During the final session of the day, attendees collaborated to make one of Mayer’s ‘Ghost’ sculptures.
Part of her series of 'Temporary Monuments', the ‘Ghosts’ are purposefully impermanent. They have a base structure of bamboo and cord, and are then draped in paper, cellophane and ribbon. The Ghosts are figurative but not representational, so you can lend them whatever tribute is meaningful to you. But they are also like tents, structures to gather around.
Ours is the Ghost of Scroope Terrace, made by the School of Rosemary Mayer on 8 July 2026, the evening of the waning crescent ‘old moon’.
She will be installed until 14 July.
