NYC: A morning walk to the Esplanade near where the Towers had been — just to watch and record water taxis ferrying people between New Jersey and New York City — then riding across a piece of handmade canvas scanned into the computer.

"Yellow Water Taxi is a visual treat of video mastery. We watch a ballet of bright yellow water taxis pass us by at different speeds. At one point, the taxis stop and park on the right and left edges of the small screen….The video has a hand-made feel. The backdrop is a piece of woven canvas whose texture is plainly seen and felt."
— Joan Boycoff and Reuben Baron, Art Critical, 2012
