Simon Donovan, Ophelia Zepeda, Mountain Ave. Phase 3, 2010.
Working with the community, artists Simon Donovan and Ophelia Zepeda created a series of engraved granite sculptures depicting Zepeda's poetry. The poetry was sandblasted into the granite in Tohono O'odham with English translations. Electric boxes near the work were painted to disappear into the environment, drawing attention to the granite boulders.
