Deer Isle Granite (New York County Supreme Court) is part of a larger project tracing Deer Isle Granite– a type of granite formed 371 million years ago in the area of Deer Isle and Stonington, Maine– from sites of its use back to the quarries where it was extracted throughout the 20th century. Series of videos and photographs document the return of fragments of Deer Isle Granite from the monuments, institutions, and structures it was used to construct: the New York County Supreme Court, New York, NY; the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; the Washington Monument at the United States Military Academy, West Point, NY; and Kykuit, the Rockefeller Estate in Sleepy Hollow, NY. This video documents the return of a fragment of Deer Isle Granite from the New York County Supreme Court to Settlement Quarry in Stonington, Maine.
