Label TextBetsy Damon’s performance art practice in the 1980s and 1990s generated places for social interaction while her current focus emphasizes the significance of water. She acknowledges the importance of this invaluable resource and creates public projects—sculptures and parks—that filter polluted water and reconstruct wetlands. Blue Hole illustrates the location of a spring in Texas visited by American Indians until the 1950s.
