All the work had to be flat because the design staff at Chelsea Market has installed glass sandwiches bolted to the walls to hold their rotating art exhibits. This prompted me to work on wonderful textured papers instead of my more usual stretched canvases. The way that the holders floated off of the walls also suggested some ideas, often related to allowing a glimpse of the brick walls behind.
In this case, the work is part of my Subway Series which relates to the vintage tiles seen throughout New York's older subway stations.
Fifteenth Street (3) hung at Chelsea Market from August 3 to September 12, 2008 and is currently available framed. It's priced accordingly.
