FREE Shrine: Bird Box

Peter Forrest Kline let his bird do the shrining for his piece in our show last year. So no poetic wall text to offer. As with many shrines, the object is what you make it.

About the box: the city under our feet

Curator's Note: As part of extending the "Looking for Loci" exhibit, we've photographed the boxes and are posting them online. Peter Forrest Kline is a long-time garden designer here in San Francisco.

Genius Loci: Underground
By Peter Forrest Kline


My box is about San Francisco's underground.. I don't mean some counter culture scene but the physical place under San Franciscans' feet.

As a gardener here for many years, I've dug in it's mostly sandy, soft soil, regularly finding an old marble or fragment of pottery--sometimes an old cast iron toy or clay bottle, even a layer of charcoal & fused glass, evidence of the 1906 earthquake & fire.
