Rage

Graphite and Chicken Wire on Canvas

24" x 30"

Rage represents the anger, fear and terror that my ancestors must have felt when they were experiencing the middle passage as they were being brought to America.  There were so many that didn't survive the voyage.  They were abused, forced to lie in urine and feces, lie next to others who had died and their bodies, decayed and were eaten by rats.  Some thrown overboard and fed to the sharks, some chose the seam themselves rather than what awaited them in America.
