The Hart Family Wall

Photographs of staff critic Brett Hart with his wife and children, none of whom he sees. He has asked that the frames be kept on the site anyway, in case. They are fine. They are better off. He will not elaborate on the mistakes.

A note from Mr. Hart

If you have seen these children, they do not wish to be found, and they are doing well, and I am glad. If you are one of these children: the front row is always open. I am at the show Monday. I am always at the show Monday.
