A large blue arrow bends toward a flatbed truck through a crowded field of navy, slate, and orange. Beneath its continuous curve, broken black, white, and burgundy marks interrupt the street. The arrow extends a device in Freedman’s seed painting, 1,104 Feet from Here.
A flatbed-truck driver turned left at Francis Lewis Boulevard and Hillside Avenue and fatally struck a 68-year-old man in the crosswalk. The arrow’s clarity sits uneasily beside the fractured forms below: a turn is simple to indicate, while its consequences resist the neatness of the sign.

Painting, data, selection
The series begins with Freedman’s four oil paintings: 258 Feet from Here, 1,104 Feet from Here, 1,924 Feet from Here, and 3,504 Feet from Here. Each responds to a fatal crash near littlefield in Brooklyn, establishing a language of interrupted gestures, partial forms, color, and open space.
For each data print, another documented crash acts on that painted language: direction, movement, and relationships between people and vehicles shape the composition. Freedman uses AI in the studio to develop these translations, then vets and selects the works. From roughly 1,200 images, only a few become physical prints. Each holds one event in view, asking for sustained attention to an individual loss within the city’s larger record.
The physical work
Printed edge-to-edge at 17 × 17 inches, each giclée uses Epson pigment inks on Hahnemühle German Etching paper. The textured matte surface carries brilliant color, subtle tonal shifts, and fine detail.
Each image is a unique print, numbered 1/1. No second print of this specific image will be made.
