The Gray, Gray Gravel of Home
Irvine Meadows West RV Park, Irvine, California
August, 1990
As tensions mounted between me and trailer park management (mostly over
issues unrelated to the 3-week engine-swap process), I established what
I referred to as a "Mixed Media Installation" in the yard of Trailer #B7.
This consisted of oily rags, pans of various fluids, car parts, and beer
cans. As an artist, I felt, I had the right to choose my media and
presentation and threatened lawsuits to anyone that objected. I was
full of shit, but my rants kept the forces of evil at bay. Many small
car parts can still be found in #B7's gravel today, more than 8 years later.
