For this Labor Day, we want to talk about this sculpture by Libby Black titled: “Xochitl’s Bucket.” Xochitl is the longest employee at The David Ireland House and she comes in every Monday with Gary (also her sister) to clean the house and makes sure things are beautiful, spic and span. We love you Xochitl and Gary, thank you for all these years of working with us! @libblack thanks for honoring our beloved workers who care for the house and has worked with us in such an important way. We honor them and we love this sculpture (also the main image of the flyer for “The Way Things Also Are.”)
