Depicted here is the BROOKLYN BRIDGE... harbinger of modernity... as seen from the East River looking south. Brooklyn on the left. Manhattan on the right. There's a hint of Governor's Island under the bridge. And a sort of tiny bullseye dot about where Liberty Island would be in the far distance.

I went out on the East River in a canoe once with my friend Peter. It was super cool. "East River" is a total misnomer though. It's a tidal estuary, salt water, and flows in both directions depending on the comings and goings of the tide. What's more, if you're living in Brooklyn (as I was earlier this century), it lies entirely to your west.

This is an original, handmade, one-of-a-kind artwork... not a print or reproduction. Its surface is 100% currency collage on a rigid wooden panel.

The piece is framed in a sleek high-modernist style. Glazed with Optium museum acrylic, which is shatter resistant, abrasion-resistant, uv-filtering, and low glare. The aluminum frame stock has a skinny 3/8 inch front face, seamless tig-welded corners, and a rich black powder-coat paint job. Discrete collaged spacers on the inner lip of the frame offer an extra something to the attentive viewer. The back of the frame sports a detailed, handwritten, and signed frame label to aid in future identification and authentication.
