Another of the coffee paintings, used along with the new letterpress molds.
Some interesting details are an actual bill of sale for a "Negro Slave", next to the Declaration of Independence as it appeared in the Virginia Gazette in 1776. And a small piece of a real, very worn leather whip, which came off the end of one I happen to have in my possession. (Artists collect the oddest bits and pieces, but the rest of said whip still functions quite perfectly. I'm just saying...)
I'm too tired to think of a narrative for this painting, but if you can come up with one, I will publish it here.
Acrylic and coffee on paper and silk, with Cowrie shells and leather. 28 x 38 cm.
