Posted on Jul 01, 2006 Ghostly as Fort Ord's deserted barracks on which it's painted, a gallery of soldiers' faces gazes into space. Only it is a space filled with meaning, said Amalia Mesa-Bains, chair of the Visual and Public Art Department at California State University, Monterey Bay. "The concept of this project was one of excavating the geography of memory that lay beneath our feet," Mesa-Bains said. "We peopled the (barracks) windows with the living history of the base."
