I first encountered Richard’s work as I was leaving Area, a nightclub on Hudson Street, late at night and trying to cross the turnaround at the exit of the Holland Tunnel—

And I was met by this mysterious curved wall that I had to follow in order to get across the rotary—

Rivers, Ice floes, Glaciers, the Arctic and Antarctic ice caps, sonar views of the ocean floor, to simple water waves, frozen in time by a photograph. Rivers are something we tend to see at the place we know.
