揑n this gallery talk, I抣l be highlighting aspects of the book, but I抣l also reflect a bit on my creative process,� said Cremin. 揂s one can imagine, I went through many drafts, revised my core questions and adjusted for new findings or dead ends.�
In 1836, Chicagoans set aside the narrow shoreline as public ground and declared it 揻orever open, clear, and free.� In his book, Cremin reveals that despite such noble intent, the transformation of the land to today抯 Grant Park was a gradual process, riddled with obstacles and stumbling blocks.
