Edition of 5 books produced in workshop at Penland School of Craft, 2024. A photolithography using original police demonstration photographs taken in 1963 on Bloody Monday. In this accordion style artist’s book, the women sing out—loudly; they demand for equality and equal protection. The white men and police silently stand, with the monument—still not removed. “We shall not be moved,” the women sang; before they were dragged, hosed and jailed. The black and white lithographic-collage depicts the chaotic confrontation.
