Buying a six pack, triptych of 3 40"x60" oil paintings
I recently moved to Lefferts Gardens, east of Prospect Park, Brooklyn. My neighbors belong to a mix of social groups: a minority of whites in our 20s and 30s moving in at an increasing pace and West Indian and African families, many of whose younger members were born in the US. We respect the boundaries between races and ethnicities and maintain a psychological distance from those outside of our social groups with subtle differences in our composure. This series exposes my perspective of my neighbors, conceding my obstructed point of view but cherishing the moments that make me feel close to them as fellow human beings.
