Ring of Fire, with Water Garden

Becky Howland

Howland's shared history with the founding of ABC No Rio is something I feel close to, and I appreciate the balance of the softness and radicality of nature. It's a peaceful work to meditate on while still being challenging.

Big Heat

Martin Wong

I’ve always loved Wong’s romantic representation of New York’s desolation. The two fire fighters/lovers in the foreground of a burning city. What else is there to do, but love? Plus, that brick work is so mesmerizing. I could look at it forever.

Horizon

Mariko Makino

This piece makes sense in my collection because the artist who made it is from a scene of New York musicians that Louis is also from, as well as a bunch of friends of mine. It also feels very much in conversation with a lot of artists from Olana Heise’s generation. There’s a very New York and intergenerational history running through this piece, connecting different creative communities and generations that I’ve been involved with as well, which makes it feel especially meaningful in the context of my collection.
