An empty picture frame was affixed to a plate-glass window facing a meadow beyond Bennington College’s Visual Arts and Performing Arts Building.

During a formal studio-art critique session, a full high tea service was conducted in the area of the meadow in the center of the frame’s view.

The site of the tea service became a temporary micro-utopia: a place reflecting the ideals of leisure in nature without modernity. Surrounded by high, wet grasses and no paths, the scene’s ability to be accessed as an image (through the picture frame in the art building) was calculated to be a deliberate contrast with its inaccessibility as a real location.
