1978 – 1980
Mojave Desert, California
A living monument to women.
A 90,000 square foot aerial landmark in the form a labyrinth (image above), formed by planting seeds of Yucca brevifolia (Joshua Trees) at a barren site in the Mojave Desert off Cima Road, 14.5 kilometers southeast of the Cima Road exit on Interstate 15. Later the seeds grow into a patterned grove of cactus trees, rough or sharp when touched, that produce flowers for a few days each year and provide year-round shade from the intense desert heat.
Site selection, seed collection, surveying, ground-breaking and planting is performed by Duncan alone, and completed on 1st January, 1980.
