Heir Loom: Aerial View
title Heir Loom: Aerial Viewdescription California State University San Marcos Entitled "Heir Loom," Sand Diego artist Anne Mudge's project for inSITE94 consisted of a performance on the campus of California State University, San Marcos. In a courtyard of gridded grassy squares, the artist invited twenty participants to tell a story, to share a fragment of history specific to a person or event related to San Marcos. Within twenty grassy squares were carved body imprints, the grass and plant material removed, and each square was identified with a tile inscribed with the name of the participant as well as an acknowledgement of the person or event remembered. Each body recess filled with plant remains was lit on fire, symbolizing the cycle of life and death. The end of the project was marked by the planting of new growth with the body imprints, suggesting the start of a new story and with the trace of the memory of the event. --inSITE94 Garden and Landscape Performing Arts (including Performance Art) Sculpture and Installations Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) This image is a scan of a 35mm color slide from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 310, Folder 03, Item 236) [Title, Date].
