Description:

Point of Origin is Matt Dehaemer’s tribute to the old Kansas City streetcars of years past. Here the artist has woven a model of an old streetcar from plastic pipe, rope and cables. By hanging the work above the street, the artist suggests an almost ghostlike apotheosis of a nostalgic mode of travel.
