Created for ‘The Triangle Known As Truxton Circle’ at 410 GooDBuddY, Washington, DC. The exhibit was funded in partby a grant from Humanities Council of DC.
For ‘The Triangle Known As Truxton Circle’, I curated and participated in this three-person show. The exhibit illustrates changes in DC’s Ward 5 through maps, etchings and my installation.
‘Fountain’ recreates the Truxton Circle Fountain by overlaying photographs, installing a fountain pump and suggesting the old streetcar lines that coalesced at the landscaped circle. This community’s place to rest was removed in the 1940’s as roads were remade to allow for faster car travel. Using historic photographs and large scale printing, I create eight foot banners to express the memory of the absent, namesake fountain. I also build a new fountain amplifying the sound of water. Engaging visitors, I supply narrative texts to document the neighborhood’s changing nature and act as oral historian during exhibition events.
