Things collected from the hill
(2008-2025)
Found objects collected on the topside of the hill @19 Summer Avenue by Jonah Figueroa-Daley and Carolyn Daley
The many people who lived above and around our property historically threw any trash they had down the hill. After my parents bought the house, some weekends me and my mom would excavate these artifacts. Glass bottles, shells, metal signs, ceramics and a full mattress are among many of the excavated items. This is a segment of this collection of our trash, dirt, and treasure we collected over the years.
