SOL LEWITT WALL DRAWING
Crocker House
54 State Street,
New London, CT 06320
The Crocker House is one of the most distinguished buildings located in downtown New London, Connecticut. The lobby of the building was the perfect space for a mural, and modernist Sol Lewitt designed a wall drawing specifically for that space. Denny was selected to be on the work crew despite never being exposed to Sol or his work. Over the course of the summer Denny gained valuable insight and experience in not only painting large scale murals, but also working on a team with several other artists to accomplish the same goal. This experience would shape Denny's view of collaboration and artistic execution, and would instill a discipline and attention to detail that has been a part of his personal process ever since.
