ARBORESCENCE

Bound Brook, NJ

“DECISION” considers George Washington’s decision-making process to go ahead with the surprise attack in the determinative Battle of Trenton. Rumored that the plan was actually the idea of his doctor and friend, Hugh Mercer, whose life was lost the following week at the Battle of Princeton, George listened to counsel and made the final call. 

On a frigid December 25-26, 1776 George Washington stood on the banks of the Delaware River in midst of an unanticipated nor’easter to contemplate the risks and strategize the attacks that would be the turning point of the Revolutionary War. Facing a ten-mile march with tired and hungry troops, cannons and horses, while three hours behind schedule in extremely bad weather, Washington decides to “push on.” 

In that moment, he changed history.

They are thirteen artists who "committed themselves and used the art to construct their biographies".

There are TWO DOORS 

leaning this way and that

Light shadows—

two, maybe 3 rays—

parallel across

a floor, a flame

MARTIN LUTHER KING

whose stretch was cut out 

Torn 

from the selvage

from the edge, unraveling

Stands 

in the same position 

as UPRIGHT MAN
