Childhood reverie before the sun breaks (photo Jaime Rojo)
In preparation for their upcoming collaboration at Ad Hoc in Bushwick next week, Armsrock and Chris Stain sailed deep into the night near Brooklyn’s massive Navy Yard, hoisting up ladders to put up a large mural stirring the contemplative inner currents of child’s play entitled “I Know There Is Love”.

Using projections of their original work as well as improvised “chalk drawings”, the storytelling includes two tadpole-aged lads and a small harbor of imaginary vessels.

Each of these poets of paste could easily fill a gallery with their imagination and skill; So much stronger is the chord they collectively strum.
Gallery director Andrew Michael Ford has curated an incredibly strong group of drawings, stencils, paintings and block prints.
