Description |
|
Commentary: This work references the separation that was forced upon African-American couples while in bondage - or put differently the "bonds of matrimony" had a different historical context for Blacks then it had for Whites. The piece has wheels attached suggesting post Civil War mobility that led to the Great Migration.
Medium: Old handmade tool box w/ wheels containing racist caricature rag dolls with Aunt Jemima & railway porter racist stereotype wallpaper indicating job opportunities, flag, rope handle on top
