'I do it because it's what I am': New York artist shares Nebraska roots in new project
"This piece here is my brother Tom. And that's 45th and Curtis Avenue, in front of my mom's house," Edgar Jerins showed KETV Newswatch 7. "And Tom had suffered from alcoholism and had a very rough life, very difficult time. So, in this piece, I put him outside of my mom's house in the winter. I wanted that as the underlying theme: Tom and winter."
