Curatorial note

Seen from behind, the tarp-covered rear of the sedan anchors the alley as a quiet, long-standing presence. Acquired January 2026, this work occupies a gravel lot behind 264 E Cheltenham Ave, delineated by a wooden fence and a weathered chain-link barrier. Debris and litter scattered along the ground emphasize its status as a durable feature of the streetscape.
