While at MacDowell, Franco Munhoz worked on a fragmentary and multilayered book (in English) – blending prose, stage directions, poetry, visual poetry and images. Among revisions made and other fragments created, he wrote a landscape inspired by one of Mansfield Studio’s windows. He also started a collaboration for a new choral piece with composer and Fellow Finola Merivale.
