Curatorial note

Seen at the Cranston curb, the rear of a Taos sits under a film of accumulated grime. The VW emblem and TAOS script remain legible above a license-plate area obscured by dust, while snow dusts the lower edge of the bumper. Acquired February 2026 and on view for 81 days, the work registers as a durable trace of street life, where ordinary vehicles become artifacts of duration.
