Reliquary: A True Likeness
of a Southern Family by Bookman is a collaboration of sorts between the artist and the photographer Richard Samuel Roberts who in the early 20^th century had a photography studio on Washington Street a few blocks from this tunnel. It includes pictures Roberts took of Columbia-area residents and photos of the artist’s family which has lived in the Swansea area for many generations. 

Kinard is using natural plants, tar and ceramics for herTar & Tokens which is a response to the surroundings: the tunnel in which it is located and neighborhood and especially the Blue Palace Tea Room, once located nearby.
