At the end of a few months together, they drove back to New York to drop off Larsson and Sugar, his dog who was previously cared for by Selma. It was clear this show was going to be about the beauty of a place travelled to and how that compliments the beauty of a familiar home.

They were seeing the world in a new light. The streets, the rest stops, the signage, the truck stops, the food, the associated emotions of the destinations at either end. It is the journey but why can’t it also be the destination? Along that drive, Mike drew every rest stop the two stopped at while Larsson walked his new doggy companion, Sugar. Passing mountains and the nation’s capital and rural America while making questionable meal choices and stopping every hour for coffee or snacks or stretches or bathroom breaks. They reveled in what they might have previously rued.

In New York, their destination, the hustle and bustle on the street makes for myriad compositions. Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens cover the walls with pigeons, Times Square, skyscrapers, and brownstones. Brooklyn is also Larsson’s current home.
