Art and Ecology Eke Out a Living at New York's WATERPOD

Made from wood water towers, art crates and a NYC Parks Department pier; metal railings from the Broadway set of “Equus;” and foliage-print wallpaper which decorates exteriors from the backdrop of “As the World Turns” (much of this donated by Materials for the Arts ) the Waterpod is pretty much an experiment within an experiment, out to show how artists can navigate anything , on land or sea...or even in the East River.
