Opening Reception January 26th 2008
301 Bocana Gallery
Bernal Heights, San Francisco


Researching sites in San Francisco’s Mission District,
Ellen Babcock and Teri Claude uncover pieces of the history of wayward women.

Ellen Babcock’s sculptural pieces are inspired by the grotto at 21st and Potrero,
all that remains of the former St. Catherine’s Home for Wayward Girls.

Teri Claude’s delicate embroideries draw their inspiration from Red Dora’s Bearded Lady Café
(formerly at 14th and Guerrero), and the ink blots used to diagnose homosexuality.
