Eulogies in Concrete

Patrick Modiano describes concrete as “the color of amnesia”, what I interpret as a loss of place.

Using the visual language of headstones to turn an old slab of bluestone into a shroud, that was quarried around the time of the Hudson Valley’s initial colonization. This slab of rock had been used as the foundation for a long-since collapsed house. Bluestone is quarried for concrete, building up the surrounding urban landscape and hollowing out the hillsides.
