DEATH RITE: Fort Miley Bunkers, 1978, San Francisco, CA.
Collaborated with Bay Area artists Loren Partridge, Helen Richardson, and Barbara Wein on a site specific interdisciplinary sculptural environment and ritual enactment in five rooms of a World War II military bunker. The piece is based on (a) the use of that physical space in a rite of passage to reconnect with the idea of death as cyclical, and (b) personal memory with the physical finality of the site.
