A white and yellow curve sweeps around a dark gray center, linking an SUV at the upper right with red, ochre, and black marks below. Beneath that cluster, thin drips change the rhythm from a broad turn to a slow vertical fall.
An SUV driver turned left at Amsterdam Avenue and West 96th Street and fatally struck a 69-year-old woman crossing with the signal. The turn becomes the work’s organizing form. Following its arc carries the eye across the gray interval to the point where the composition gathers and stops.

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.
