Artist Statement: Inanimate Relationships Photo Project: The Dorn Pyramid in cemetery in San Luis Obispo

The Dorn Pyramid in the Odd Fellows Cemetery in San Luis Obispo, California. The Dorn Pyramid in the Odd Fellows Cemetery in San Luis Obispo has stood for more than 100 years, a Masonic symbol sheltering the mortal remains of a mother and child.But as the years have passed, a veil of mystery has come to surround the Dorn Pyramid. The mystery is compounded by the inscriptions on the marker at the entrance to the pyramid noting the burials within: Cora Russell Dorn (1868-1905) and Fred Adolphus Dorn, Jr. (1905 - 1905).
