video and installation
Richmond Art Center

For only one summer every 33 years, the legendary, enchanted, unmoored Chicksilog Island drifts into San Francisco Bay, and anchors itself near Point Richmond.  In a gesture of gracious goodwill to the people of Richmond, the the devastating women of the island  share their private universe of femininity in an effervescent installation of video and murals chronicling the exploits and foibles of their island culture.
