A ‘house’ (B’yit) constructed in the shape of the Egyptian hieroglyph BAYIT, thought to be the pre-cursor of the Hebrew and Sumerian letter which became the Roman alphabet letter ‘B’ but meaning in ancient times ‘house’ or ‘shelter.’ Painting Hebrew letters honoring the un-named dead with sculptural shapes. Installation for ‘Day of the Dead,’ SOMarts Gallery, San Francisco.
