Keys to the city

Not far from downtown San Francisco in the SOMA area is an alleyway filled with giant keys and locks sticking out of the ground.

Who was Harry Bridges, and why did Howard represent him with locks and keys? Read on: More on this particular piece can be found here, and a profile about Howard and her work can be found here.
