I was invited to participate in Coney Art Walls, a mural exhibition in Coney Island curated by Jeffrey Deitch. For my mural, I knew I wanted to engage the community of Coney Island. I decided to do a mural of portraits featuring residents of Coney Island - people who have lived in the neighborhood for years and have family roots there. I asked each person I interviewed and photographed, what do you want people to know about Coney Island outside of the boardwalk and rides? David Anderson gave a great answer that I used for the text of the piece: The day before Easter, and the day after Labor Day - people still live here. People die here. People love here. -- source link
