Boston Women’s Memorial

2003, Commonwealth Ave. & Fairfield St. Boston, MA
bronze and granite, pavement 30’ diameter, figures 1.2 times life size

Commissioned for Boston’s historic Back Bay, commemorating Abigail Adams, Phillis Wheatley & Lucy Stone for their writing and their impact on society.  The women have come down off their pedestals (as in this century women have, symbolically) and have deconstructed their traditional orientation in order to use their pedestals as work surfaces.
