Mildred Howard places an enlarged version of an antique Rococo bronze frame within the landscape of the Hunter’s Point Shipyard.  The frame captures Walter Hood’s structure – “Refrain” – more than 100 yards downhill. The three-dimensional structure further explores interior/exterior duality and considers the space invoked by Howard’s frame. The frame’s sense of limits is expanded here to a limitless multiplicity of valued spaces and views. Together “Frame-Refrain” provide a point of contact between the worlds of public and private, bridging the brawny, industrial world of steel and concrete with the fragile treasures of art and antiques.
