Note(s): 

« I was making word sculptures and wanted to make a piece that signified the Sculpture Garden as "the place to be..." My work often has humor and irony at its root […]The text was meant to signify its own existence. "Here" is everything you need to know.» […]The rear of the words has a photo mural of a tropical beach from Mexico. The idea was really that once you walked around the piece, "there" was really where you wanted to go.» -David Kramer
