* The extreme horizontal proportion and the level of detail
on this piece combined with the slanted sidewalk and
number of people hanging around outside
make it difficult to capture accurately on camera.
The pictures are in order left to right with some overlap
on the wider panels. The last picture is a detail to
show the level of pixelization provided by the tiles.

The Men Can Pledge
2004 (approximate)
* big
pledge
* inscription:
As a man I know the realities of violence
against women & children.
I have taken a hard
look at the facts. Millions of women &
children are beaten, raped, sexually harassed
& stalked every year. These women & children
live in fear of what tomorrow might bring.
Today I take a stand to stop the violence
because I am the friend, family, & companion of
those who have suffered. I have made a
commitment to turn my private concern into
public action. I promise to treat all women &
children with dignity & respect. I will
intervene when I see destructive behaviors
that can dehumanize & humiliate others. I
will defend those who cannot defend
themselves by taking action.
I will promote a new kind of society where
decency & respect require no special day on
the calendar, where boys are taught that
violence does not equal strength & where
men stand with courage, lead with conviction
& speak with one voice that says "no more".
