Bunker Hill News began as a stream of consciousness text I wrote in 1981, recorded in five parts as a chanted, abstracted reverie about adolescence. Although I revisited and photographed the many sites of what I consider to be hallowed ground in the old hometown of my youth, grappling with the raw material, picking it up and putting it aside for more than twenty years, it was not until 2001 that I finally decided to face this content through artwork.

The project went through several phases between 2001 and 2005. Based upon snapshots I took of the area of the grammar school, park, and physical ground that circumscribed the first 14 years of our lives, combined with two formal 8th grade graduation pictures, I created hundreds of images and pieces that make up the whole of this project and there have been seven exhibitions connected to it.
