Description
Sculpture and Installations "Stairway of the Ancients" is a complex stairway, probably built in the 1920s, leading up to the Casa de la Cultura. It is in disrepair with parts that are eroded or broken. To try to keep within this context, the figurines that MacConnel has cast, purchased from street vendors, are irregular, broken and "antiqued." The "Ancients" are funny, sad, prideful, odd remnants of tourist art.
