I could not have finished this book without the support of my wonderful team! Thank you to Jacqueline Miro for designing, Jennifer Shaw & Meg Turner for photogravure printing and hand-coloring, Sarah Smith for binding, and John Fitzgerald for letterpress.
“I began working on this series one day out of anguish and ended up rescued by a depth of meaning I never really meant to touch. The resulting images are hand-colored photogravures combining the graffiti of New Orleans with religious imagery from San Miguel in Mexico – the dueling iconographies of the two places I call home. I have no final judgment to make on the subjects. Each expression is presented with its consolations and its cruelties. They are what they are, and hopefully, the viewer finds something in them that speaks to what they themselves may have experienced, needed, or felt.”
