Curatorial note

Seen at night, the work anchors the curbside in the Richmond streetscape through a subtle detail: a small green sticker on the rear passenger window. Since acquisition in January 2026, the silver pickup has become a fixed presence among the row of brick houses and nearby vehicles, its metallic skin catching the streetlight and the blue window glow. The piece registers as a patient element in the neighborhood’s durational rhythm, inviting attention to the ordinary persistence of street life.
