Curatorial note

The leaning utility pole bisects the frame, its diagonal line curling over the blue sedan that rests at the curb. Since February 2026 this piece has occupied the Benson Street edge, a durable axis in the winter streetscape where snow emphasizes the boundary between curb and street. The work anchors the street’s everyday rhythm and invites attention to duration, material presence, and the city’s ordinary, unresolved tempo.
