An artist's proof is the pulled print through which the artist and printmaker have collectively decided that the edition was "bon a' tirer" (ready to run). These proofs were the first to confirm the image and to green light the printing of the edition assuring its quality and value. For wine lovers, this is similar to "premier cru". As there are only five per edition here, they, like all artist proofs, are slightly more expensive.

Throughout our lives, our moving relationships with significant friends and lovers often involve a “meeting place.” An old tree in a field, a point of view, a bar, or a cafe can serve as the place of exchange and belief where a sense of one’s future takes form. This image is a construction of such a “place” that would draw friends together.
