Piece description from the artist
When I create a piece I like to think about other people's stories, the days and moments that make up their lives. In each piece there are elements from my own life but then I may pick up a magazine or walk by someone on a bustling Boston street and hear a snippet of conversation and incorporate that into the piece. When I see this piece I think of the hidden heroes in our neighborhoods, the bakers that get up in the dark to make our morning bagels or the postal worker who delivers our mail even during a blizzard. This piece holds multiple narratives and moment.
