This is a difficult Mother’s Day. Last Tuesday my stepfather passed. He was sick for a very long time, awaiting a liver transplant. This is my mother’s second husband whom lost a fight after a long illness. They’d been together for over 20 years. My mother is tough. This post is about the often unseen, unrecognized toughness that mothers must have, that women must have, that goes so far beyond what so many men think they have. Despite what she’s been through, she has always been a deeply committed and unwavering parent to my brother and I. Her relentless love for us and commitment to our happiness has never been in question, and I realize now what an amazing thing that is to have. Thank you mom. Happy Mother’s Day!

I’m down in Miami helping to get the art from Basel back to its home.

#tbt to RAZERBILDER at Honey Ramka, showing alongside @kenweathersby and @kirstenjanenelson. @honeyramka is now closed, as happens with many art ventures like it. It was a gallery that did not get enough attention for how well curated and broad it’s scope was. I’m glad I was invited to show there on more than on occasion. Was said to see it go but glad it went out on a high note last year. Cheers to everyone that made it happen and kept it going! @jesse.p.martin @__bryan_rogers__ @jason_reyen @polinabarskaya @alexander_kaluzhsky.

Working in the studio today I’m thinking a lot about the recent loss of Devra Freelander (@devrafreelander). I didn’t know her personally, just knew of her work. Her death is tragic. As a fellow sculptor who bike commutes nearly everywhere I go, it hits close to home. I visited her memorial today on my way to the studio. When I originally read about it I knew exactly where it happened because I’ve biked down Bushwick Avenue countless times. It’s frustrating to hear the cement company claim that there are too many cyclists on the road. As an artist, and now a father, I know how invaluable it is to be able to get around the city quickly and cheaply. After seeing where she died, it was clear she was on the sidewalk because the road where she should have been riding was not safe to ride on, thanks to the cement leaked all over the road from cement trucks, likely from the same company. As much as some want to blame her death on her entering the intersection , it’s possible she would have been more visible to the truck driver had she been able to bike with traffic safely. The roads are not built with cyclists in mind, they are not maintained for us. I’ve been thrown over my handlebars by potholes that cars can ignore (and when lying in the road people just drove around me). The perspective from a bicycle is very different than from inside of a car, and I suspect it’s a view that the city government and the NYPD don’t see the world from much. Last year 10 cyclists died in NYC all year. This year we’re already at 15. Everyone be careful, watch out for each other. Images: 1. My studio today 2. The cement covered part of the intersection where a cyclist would normally be expected to ride 3.
