Description: The artwork includes 65 "small monuments" that consist of text, images and objects set into concrete "patches" that have been installed in the Cascade and South Lake Union neighborhoods. The preservation or disappearance of 65 “small monuments” will provide a subtle commentary on what is valued, and by whom, as two historic neighborhoods change.
Location: (multiple) Cascade neighborhood: Entire block bounded by Thomas, Yale, Harrison, John; Southwest corner of Yale and Mercer. South Lake Union neighborhood: Southwest corner of Mercer and Westlake; Southeast & Southwest corners of Westlake and Harrison
