Part of Objects in Hangar 2, a Seattle Arts Commission Exhibition at former Sand Point Naval Station, Seattle. Curator: Sean Elwood.

Refuge consisted of two rooms: an entry and an inner chamber. A 12-minute monologue/diatribe ran continuously in the entry. Behind the curtains sounds of water coursing through a stream bed muffled the voice from the entry. Two tons of river rocks lay on the concrete floor. The chamber was lit by a chandelier made from 58 amber glass lamps gathered from thrift stores.

Dimensions: approx. 20'w x 13'h x 50'd.
