Bibliography

Cecilia Dougherty

The image above is a still from one of my silent installations called IN A STATION, PETALS. I put the installation up at Right Window Gallery on Valencia Street in San Francisco in 2011. Kevin Killian invited me to do something for the front window of the gallery, so I created this video and rear-screen projected it onto the window to play throughout the night. Was that actually the last time I was in San Francisco? I miss Kevin.
