Blesofsky’s artistic practice is truly specific to site. The making of her work only comes after intense research and on-site investigation into the exhibition space as well and the surrounding locale. After combing through historic archives at the library, online probing, and physical inspection of the Lower East Side on and around Suffolk Street, she found that the gallery was formerly an open lot to a headstone business called Forsyth Monument Works. In reference to the objects that were once stored in the space, Blesofsky erects monuments of her own.
