Plate at Rest, North Dakota Framed — Holmesburg
Automotive, rear, blue paint, North Dakota plate
Police Department, est. 2025
125 days on view
Curatorial note
From the rear, a dark blue Toyota anchors the composition, its North Dakota plate centered along the bumper with a rusted connector dangling near the lower edge. Across the 125 days on view, the plate and the vehicle frame a durable, quiet presence in Holmesburg at 7803 Frankford Ave. The museum notes this work among a small set of pieces that document long-standing curbside existences, where mobility and stasis intersect in the everyday streetscape.
