Memory in Objects, in Places | Carol Schreiber

I have many small replicas and photographs of the spire atop the Chrysler Building in New York.  The replicas and photographs are a reminder of my father, who worked in the building in the late 1940’s when I was a young child.  His office was on the 69^th floor, in one of the “fins”.   I know that I was inspired to commute to work in New York City in the 80’s, by my father’s daily commute to his office in New York.  For me the Chrysler Building spire represents his aspirations and my own as well.  It is also very beautiful.
