This abstract sculpture composed of three vertical elements, is titled Ndebele and is by Fran Martin. It was installed in 1987.
I have tried three times over many many months to find this piece. It is listed at the pump station but it is actually on the side in a small gated area off of Shafter Avenue.
Fran Martin received her M.A. in Art in 1973. She fabricated and exhibited sculpture until 1995. Since 1994, she has been co-founder of and ardent worker at the Visitacion Valley Greenway Project (VVGP).
The Griffith Pump Station was built in 1985, and is part of the SFPUC wastewater enterprise system.
