Thomas Pomplin Memorial, Piermont, NY
Public Sculpture commissioned by Piermont Fire Co. #13 Thomas Pomplin (1826-1854), Piermont Fire Company's first Line of Duty Death (LODD) was posthumously recognized for his sacrifice 168 years after the fire that ultimately consumed his life. Chief Dan Goswick commissioned the sculpture of Thomas Pomplin, which is based on the only known photograph of Pomplin, pictured without a uniform. His recognition as a firefighter, a citizen and a hero is now recorded in Rockland County's Legislature and my monument to him stands proudly at Flywheel Park in Piermont for all to see. |

"Always Present, Never Seen" by Editor Chip Rowe.
"a-Historical Landscapes" featured in Highlands Current article on Black history in the Hudson Highlands "Always Present, Never Seen" by Editor Chip Rowe. "The exclusion is reflected in recent artwork by Jean-Marc Superville Sovak, who has a studio in Beacon. In a series of prints, a-Historical Landscape, he took idyllic 19th-century landscape engravings typical of the Hudson River School and inserted images from anti-slavery almanacs and abolitionist tracts of the same period. “What makes these works so American, I think, is not what is depicted but also what’s missing,” he says." |
