Under was inspired by the real-life juxtaposition of a homeless encampment and a former historic orphanage on the Merrimack River. A former historic orphanage building being renovated into luxury apartments displayed an advertising banner that read in bold red letters, “Live Above it All!”. Just up the river was a well-established homeless encampment. I thought it appropriate to use my “Artistic License” to bring these 2 modes of living together in a sculpture.
