CONFRONTING THE MODERN
Mason looks back on his years in Vermont .
“ It has been a coming together of two things best described as ‘ In this place , at that time ,’ that made my own work possible . The singular importance of Vermont is undeniable . But it also was the energy and curiosity of us newcomers . It was a time of reinvention . Being here at that time was very formative . I know I couldn ’ t have done this work anywhere else . I didn ’ t ever want to . There was a real entrepreneurial spirit here , in the good sense of enrichment .”
