Stunned and saddened to hear our dear friend, and a dear spirit-friend to some of our closest, passed away yesterday. Dave Starks had a wit, comfort, joy and openness that we will miss deeply. Dave made work for our very first show, several pieces for our yard, a line of full scale figures in steel inspired by Charlotte’s choreography (so I heard), anatomically correct-ish human buttresses, touch lamps and so, so much more. A beloved human and artist, we cannot stand that he is gone, and send love to Nancy and all those whose lives he touched.
