Site 6: Ken Turner Seattle, Washington Broken Obelisk, I want my life back: 2010 Can an obelisk have only three sides? The prehistorical monumental form of power and memorial ends in a pyramid.

The drum pumps out an irresistable rhythm with a beat that is so strong that we will kill others, destroy habitat, and eventually ourselves follow it. Newman saw his piece as hopeful. My hope is that we will use this latest tradgedy to wake up and throw the drum out.
