Fictitious Force

I have a young son. We moved our home recently to be close to the park. It’s an incredible resource and public space. His most formative education at his age is in the playgrounds and running in the grass chasing a ball. All our birthday parties and friends gatherings are in the park. I feel so lucky to be able to provide him with this way of living in New York City!

The image I am including is of “Fictitious Force,” a temporary installation commissioned by NYC Parks & Rec in 2015-16, sponsored in part by Brooklyn Arts Council, at Old Stone House and Washington Park in Brooklyn.
