Sister Drummer in Faded Red

2017
Linocut, oil based printers ink and watercolour paint on acid free 140 lb. cold pressed watercolour paper
18” x 24”

Her amauti is empty...

She carries no child...

Her burden is heavier than any.

She carries with her the names:

...of the missing

...of the murdered

...of the lost mothers, sisters, and daughters...

The red is fading from the fabric of her amauti as the struggle of those left behind fades from the conciseness of those not mourning the loss of a sister... a mother... a daughter...

Faded also, by the salt of the tears as we mourn those taken from us...

Her song, her drum, her voice... will never fade...

She drums to have them remembered...

Those lost to us forever...
