Inside the Eclectic NYC Home of an Artist Who Turns MetroCards Into Art
For nearly four decades, artist and author Thomas McKean has filled his East Village apartment with the stories, objects, and memories of a life lived in New York.
Best known for transforming discarded MetroCards into intricate works of art, he finds inspiration in the city’s brownstones, water towers, subway stations, and everyday details.
His home is a world entirely his own, layered with family history, decades of collecting, and the unmistakable character of New York.
