At the apex of our Brooklyn reverie what, to our smog clouded disbelieving eyes do we see, but the sight of new Swoon pieces up around the BK.

“A historical portrait of the American steel industry based off a very inspiring man named Henderson, who fought for equality in the mills, taught himself to become a crane operator, and, I just learned, was also a jazz guitarist,” says Swoon in her Instagram feed.
