daily life. You can find Hilary's artwork in Somerville's Union Square.
Speakers 2005
In 2005 the theme was Celebration and these speakers seem to embody that spirit. Each contains a full range 10" speaker and when they all are connected you get a joyful noise.
Reliquary of Ozymandius 2003
The structure was about 7' high, and the discordant effect of the asymmetrical
wall was heightened by the skin of the building being made up of alternating
patterns of common house lathe. Though the windows the viewer sees a black
interior, and stacked haphazardly about identifiable objects from everyday
life, a toaster, a phone, a child's plastic doll, etc. Each object is
covered in a thick coating of sand, making the whole pile rather luminous
in the light from the windows.

Reliquary of Ozymandius 2003
I met a traveler from an antique
land,
Who said-"Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert . . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these world appear:
My name is Ozymandius, King of Kings,
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away."
— Ozymandius by Percy Bysshe Shelly
First Published in 1817
