Monroe was working in the printmaking studio at UC Santa Cruz in 1989. She had
been exploring this medium after graduating. I was in the printmaking studio when the
earthquake hit. Litho Plates came off the shelves, everything shook, the light fixtures
shook it came in waves. On October 17, 1989, a magnitude 6.9 earthquake hit the
San Francisco Bay area, killing 67 people and causing more than $5 billion in damages.
The quake was centered near Loma Prieta Peak (approximately 60 miles south of
San Francisco in the Santa Cruz Mountains.
Included in the exhibition are four monoprints Monroe produced as she
revisited the experience of the earthquake.

Original Photographs
I was attracted to fashion from an early age. I enjoyed playing with paper dolls.
As a lifelong thrift shopper, I collected clothing from past eras.
When thinking of ideas for my Master's thesis, photographing these articles of
clothing from bygone times in outdoor settings had great appeal. When setting up
the photos, I would collect pieces of old wood, leaves, bamboo sticks which
I brought back to the darkroom and would lay on the photo paper to add another
layer of textural interest.
