This is something I wrote at the time that I wanted to emphasize:

April 2019. This was an impossible project with Yury Yarin where we just went for it and made it happen. There was no time to lose, and yes there were many problems and setbacks, but my perspective is: There is probably no one else in the world that would choose this particular artist and dare to attempt this as a commission without any instructions other than specifying the subject and dimensions. If I didn't say yes, in all likelihood it wasn't going to exist. Talks began on this project on January 18th, 2018. I'm trying to get this out on view in a museum so you can see it in person, and when you do, I hope you'll be glad that it exists :)
