"Manhattan Effigy (by zipcode) , 2012. used sponges, 18 x 4 1/2 x 3/4 inches. (signed on verso)
I recently completed some new small used sponge maps including this one of Manhattan. Each sponge section represents the different zipcodes of NYC. The use of dirty sponges is integral to the concept–Manhattan is one of the most culturally absorbent cultures in the world, and some areas are even quite stinky.
Update: This work is currently on view at Jim Kempner Fine Arts as of June 20, 2012.
