Name of Work:
If You Feel Something, Say Something
Wooden subway bench, upholstered / 136”w x 19”d x 31”hAbout the Work:
It is nothing new – it is nothing but the old subway bench that you've ignored since the first time you rode it. Yet, after the grave moments that 2020 has offered us, it becomes a therapy couch, of sorts: softer, cleaner, more good-looking. Inviting you to sit down, to feel comfortable. Sometimes, it is the everyday objects like the classic subway bench that remind us how much we, and the city at once and together, have overcome.
