Seller Comments...

‘Identity & Control - Boxes of Ft. Tilden, NY’: The ideas at work here are clearly defined, though a feebly boxed-in missile seem to be a “tongue-in-cheek” reference to wishes of putting the technologic toothpaste back in the tube via containment policies…while also rendering a box for the human result if such technology were used. As the missile unapologetically pierce the sky-plane of the image, so the image pierce limitations of the picture frame. A relevant extension and restating of the formal and visual concepts into what is typically thought of as an emptyness of space. A parody on the 'foot-in-mouth' era of the Cold War. At times a frustration with limiting factors of the 'picture' frame foster a desire to see and do beyond such boxes.
