The Bloody Puddle in a Brick Apartment Building

Two young women in their twenties, sisters, sit in an old car park near by. They are anna and raclin mendieta, cuban refugees who landed in this unlikely place as children in 19 73. Anna was a first year m f a student at the university of iowa. She had roped raclen into helping her make a new piece. Like many works anna made, it would come to seem tragically prophetic in the wake of her death.
