Ilana Crispi is a Mission District ceramicist with a curiosity of what makes up a place. In her recent projects Mission Dirt and Tenderloin Dirt she literally digs into the earth to extract the soil and transform it, inviting residents to take a look at an invisible past and consider its future.
Dirt taken from an excavated Boeddeker Park in 2013 became furniture and vessels to eat out of and created to give Tenderloin residents a direct connection to the soil under their feet. Mission Dirt is an excavation of dirt along Valencia Street, through the firing of the physical material examining questions of home, history, geology, and ownership. As part of the project, you are invited to write or draw an experience, story, or favorite Mission District site.
