A silver SUV faces a tall ochre form dividing the square. Red, orange, and burgundy marks break across their meeting point, while thin looping lines rise through the vertical passage. Horizontal machinery, upright resistance, and curling gestures create competing rhythms.
The work responds to an overnight crash on Harlem River Drive in which a 55-year-old SUV driver died. Its looping lines echo Freedman’s seed painting, 3,504 Feet from Here. Here they wind around a strong vertical division, repeatedly drawing attention to the encounter between the vehicle’s mass and the interruption beside it.

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.
