George Widener is an ace with numbers. 28 – 28 plays with a connection he had at the time between the numbers of his own birthdate (2−8) and this then-girlfriend’s: 4 – 28, or (2 x 2)-28. Widener explains that he sees the numbers in his mind and enjoys envisioning all of their possible relationships. He called this piece a “portrait/snapshot” of the two of them at the time it was made.
