Grave Site Dirt, painted stones, sugar cubes, blue sand
Dancers Group Studio, San Francisco
August, 2000
4’x4’x5’


In the summer of 2000 I worked with a group of artists resisting gentrification in San Francisco's Mission district. Dancers Group Studio, a dance studio for over 30 years was being evicted from their space. As part of the direct action that took place on the street outside the building I created an installation called Grave Sight, which was a huge eye sculpted in dirt. Passersby were invited to write memories or a eulogy about the studio and then plant them in the eye as a symbolic gesture.

Text I collected from people
