Albert Einstein's Home Moved To An Unknown Promontory
I found myself on the campus of Princeton University and I inquired as to the whereabouts of the home of Albert Einstein, who lived on campus. I was directed to 112 Mercer Street. So, I chose to move it to the edge of the ocean on an unknown promontory—a most illogical spot to place any home.

Artist's Statement
While visiting Princeton University, I was curious to locate Einstein’s home on campus. I stopped into a local shop and asked—and to my surprise the fellow took me into a special room that was full of Einstein memorabilia. Since then, I’ve included this house in a few paintings—moving it to absurd sites or depicting it being lifted by helicopter to various places.
