Dangling from a quince tree at Sean Scully’s studio, a bald-faced hornets’ nest buzzes like a chainsaw. We’ve stepped through the back door into the garden for an impromptu pruning of things that the artist has planted in Tappan, New York over the past decade. This garden is a project of divine reclamation, a practice that runs through Sean Scully’s life and work, from the construction in 1978 of his studio at 110 Duane Street in New York, to the paintings he made on Long Island during a transformative residency in the summer of 1982.
