Detail
“River stones from the shores of Belle Isle in the Detroit River between the US and Canada. The stones were originally clay bricks from demolished buildings used for land reclamation to shape the island's shoreline. After decades of washing in the water, the rubble has become rounded and palm-sized. The artist then wrapped them in handmade cotton paper from his worn Carhartt worker's pants. I will leave a pile of Belle Isle Bricks for people to take for the duration of the exhibition.”
