Curatorial note

From the curbside, the work presents a rear-facing automotive form anchored in Cobbs Creek. The conspicuous dent along the left-rear bumper has persisted through 127 days on view, inviting reflection on the street as a steady, unresolving feature. Acquired December 2025 through a Police Department commission, the piece stands as a durable record within the collection's study of long-term curbside forms.
