NANCY SPUNGEN | KING DAVID CEMETERY
Bensalem, PA
Photograph. 2006 © Nick Kushner

Taken in August 2006 on an unexpected sojourn to the Philadelphia area. Photos of Nancy Spungen's grave in King David Cemetery which will be coinciding with two-part series of drawings to be unveiled in late 2006. Though I have no immediate Jewish heritage, and though my last is a common Jewish name, there were however four Kushner graves within the very same row as Nancy. The plastic flowers and speared Piglet were already present before I had arrived. Visiting Nancy was something I had long wanted to do and fateful in the sense that I was helping my brother's love life by driving him to upper Philadelphia, which happened to be not four miles away from her. Ominous also the fact of visiting her grave can be visibly apparent when my portrayal of her is seen.

I parked the car underneath the half-destroyed tree (seen on my site) before searching for her and listened to Sid performing at Max's Kansas City while leaving.

CORAL CASTLE
Homestead, FL
Photograph. 2006 © Nick Kushner

The Monument Billy Idol based his song 'Sweet Sixteen' on, and where he also filmed the song's video.

A mystical monument which one man built for his lost love almost seventy years ago, spurned by his "Sweet Sixteen" leaving him the day before their wedding. The feat is one which can scarcely be replicated today with modern day machinery and was created solely by a 5 foot, 100 pound Latvian immigrant named Ed Leedskalnin using only rudimentary hand tools. Created entirely of coral quarried underneath the Florida soil, Ed claimed to know the secrets of how the Pyramids were built which has resulted in Coral Castle being compared to anomalies such as the Giza Pyramids as well as Stonehenge. Ed built his monument over the course of 28 years working in solitude with many believing he knew possessed the ability to manipulate gravity. What is seen is a mystical lifelong creation inspired by a romantic tragedy. Read further below for a full history and commentary of some of the amazing features of Coral Castle.
