Artist’s Studio, San Francisco, c. 1988. A group of paintings that were studies for a proposed garden (an AIDS memorial for the Harvey Milk Plaza, San Francisco). The garden was to be a Zen-like place for contemplation and featured a river of bronze rocks on a bed of polished black granite stones. On the wall behind was to be inscribed: “ . . . Comrades, mine, and I in the midst, and their memory ever to keep” (Walt Whitman).
