Sitting Still l, 1970.  In this early performance piece, the artist is seated in a found environment of garbage and water across from the construction site of the 101 Interchange at Army and Bayshore, facing the “audience”, comprised of people in slow-moving cars, due to the construction.

Considered now, by Bonnie Ora Sherk, to be her “Watershed Piece”, unbeknownst to her at the time, she was literally facing her future:  The actual site of what would become the pioneering, uban agriculture and art, Crossroads Community (the farm), which she founded and directed beginning in 1974, and the northern frame of the Islais Creek Watershed, which she is continually involved in  today.  She is also sitting in water from the Islais Creek, which she wants to daylight in diverse places in the Watershed, the largest in San Francisco.
