I've researched online regarding Bob Cassilly's death related to the facility as well as his intentions with regard to the design of what the outdoor park would have looked like. Additionally, I used Google Maps extensively in order to determine the best route in entering without being detected; in order to locate where to inconspicuously park my car and how to walk from it into an ingress point. 

This led me to entering Cementland in January/February of 2014. I parked on Scranton Avenue on an empty cement pad to the Northwest, then walked South to the train tracks, which I followed Southeast until I was directly West of the facility. Near the train tracks where you would walk along an open path, there was a destroyed vehicle (I believe a white pickup truck) spray-painted with the text "Security" in orange along the door with a manikin in the driver seat, which I initially mistook as a person. I walked past this into Cementland continuing further East into the large warehouse. Inside this structure, I recorded multiple scenes on video, which I used for a video short for music artist Mvstermind.

It was between 36-38 degrees that day. Very overcast. We both were extremely cold after being there for around 60-90 minutes, encountering no one else before departing using the same route by which we entered.

It pains me to think about what could have been. I have documented many structures within the St. Louis metro area that no longer exist. Location is a critical piece of my work as I consider myself a street artist. These spaces serve as a character to communicate my story in collaboration with music from St. Louisans.
