""I looked at many water towers to get an idea of their variety," Chast said, about her cover for the March 30, 2026, issue."
"For the rest—be it pigeons, standpipes, sewer-dwelling alligators, people, rats, subway cars, or buildings huddled together—she used her imagination."
Roz Chast has dedicated the past year to block printing, finding joy in the carving process and the creation of a reimagined city. She focused on iconic elements, particularly water towers, studying their variety for her cover design. Other elements included pigeons, standpipes, sewer-dwelling alligators, people, rats, subway cars, and buildings, all brought to life through her imagination. The work reflects her unique artistic vision and connection to urban life.
