The work

About this work

Red, yellow, and white passages gather across the five boroughs, crossed by a fine pale street network. Manhattan forms a narrow vertical strip; Brooklyn and Queens spread outward in broader blocks of color. Dark navy water separates the shores and continues into sweeping brushwork around the city. The sharp street lines and loose painted field hold two scales together: the route through a neighborhood and the shape of the whole city.

The city beneath the stories

A map from The Distance From Here.

A painted map served as the navigation surface for The Distance From Here, connecting its four original oil paintings to the geography of traffic violence. These artist-selected map prints extend that work into a series on paper.

Without crash markers, attention shifts to the city itself: its intricate streets, divided shores, and connections between five boroughs. Find a familiar neighborhood, follow a remembered journey, or see the shape of the city anew.

The painted language comes from 258 Feet from Here, 1,104 Feet from Here, 1,924 Feet from Here, and 3,504 Feet from Here.
