Spring 2025

A park tart, rain again and again, basement bands, Jack Whitten, a social calendar shaking off winter, preparing summer knits

a blueberry crumble tart on a red geometric print blanket on grass, with paper plates to the left, mozzarella and tomatoes to the top, and a box of utensils on the right
the top half of of the Bowery Savings Bank, a neoclassical building with symmetric graffiti across the top
an early 30s white man with a beard and short dark hair plays electric guitar and sings in the foreground, lit by colorful lights. in the background, another man plays an electric guitar but he is difficult to make out
two abstract paintings by Jack Whitten. they have similar color palettes of black, red, gold, and other jewel tones, but the painting on the left is almost a desaturated version of the one on the right
two white women in their early thirties sit on a blanket on very green grass, holding beer cans and smiling at the camera. in the background and out of focus, two people lay on the grass kissing
a red door stands in the corner, with the text "I hope your flowers bloom" painted on it in the center, in black, all-caps font. The word "Bobs" is also painted toward the bottom of the door, upside down in block letters. Fake flowers made of spray foam are stuck through the door and walls surrounding it.
three white women in their late thirties sit around a round white table with plates, wine, and flowers. the one on the left has a red short sleeved pullover and light-wash jeans, with curly hair pulled back, and she is smiling at the camera. the one in the middle is somewhat out of focus, with long curly red hair and a black dress. the one on the right wears a sleeveless top and has her blonde hair pulled into a short ponytail. she is smiling but looking away from the camera.
three metal bowls filled with water sit in a stainless steel sink. each has a knit garment: one violet in the largest bowl, one black in the medium bowl, and light pink socks in the smallest bowl.
two hairless cats bathe in the sun while wearing grey sweaters. one is sitting on top of a fabric cube, and the other one sits below on wood flooring. a bicycle on a wall is in the background.
