Curatorial note

Since February 2026, this porch assemblage has occupied the threshold of 328 S 43rd Street as a densely layered still life. The purple chair with a white floral pattern anchors the composition amid an overflowing array of textiles, baskets, and artificial blossoms. The surrounding brickwork and railing establish a bounded stage that foregrounds the tenacity of objects kept in situ as a longue durée presence in the neighborhood collection.
