''' Unfinished History '''

In the 1960s and ’70s, the mudflats between the Bay Bridge and the Powell Street freeway exit from I-80 were an amazingly fertile ground for creative expression. Mostly anonymous locals went into the area at low tide and working with the driftwood that would collect there, erected large sculptures that were often whimsical, poignant, political, satirical, and surprising.
