Ghost Stoops
2020
Steel, LED neon lighting, stone steps
Baltimore’s city grid is interrupted with thousands of empty lots that once contained rowhouses, homes to generations of residents, rich and poor alike, who once congregated on the vanished front stoops. Like missing teeth the sites of these demolished buildings are a palpable absence in the neighborhood fabric.
Ghost Stoops proposes to revivify and memorialize these missing homes and memories. Marble steps, framed by glowing outlines recall the houses that once stood at these sites.
