Robin Cameron and G. William Webb’s “Monument to Reproduction”
Explore Monument to Reproduction, by artists Robin Cameron and G. William Webb on display at Race Street Pier (adjacent to Cherry Street Pier) beginning August 4. All ages.
A brick house in Hebron, New York, built in 1872, serves as the inspiration for this piece created by New York-based artists and couple Robin Cameron and G. William Webb.
The work was created from scavenged materials from the house. In the process, both an idea and a baby are born (Cy) to further complicate this productive time. The house is reproduced in this emblem signifying the family groups and underlying systems.
