Saint Monica is known as the weeping saint as she was said to have shed tears every night over her son Augustine#39;s hedonistic lifestyle. Father Juan Crespi thought of her eyes when he first saw a pair of sacred springs named Kuruvungna by the local Tongva tribe at what is now the border of Santa Monica and West Los Angeles. Water has shaped the geology of Santa Monica eroding the sandstone at the coastline. The artwork will reference both the geological and cultural history of Santa Monica through the use of sandstone and hand-formed glass that recall Saint Monica Kuruvungna and the Palisades.
Saint Monicas Tears will be installed at the west end of Downtown Santa Monica Station along 4th Street in Metro property.
The power of water is integral to the geologic history of Santa Monica. Water shaped the coastline eroding the sandstone at its edges. And yet most residents seldom engage this geology. This proposal springs from this enmeshing of geological and cultural history.
