Stone Crosses and Death Angels - Michael Brown Canvas Print

STONE CROSSES & DEATH ANGELS II
Stone Crosses and Death Angels I (1999) was a hand colored multi-layered photographic series that speaks of the personal loss of loved ones: my father, my grandmother, my sister, my brother. In the latest version, Stone Crosses & Death Angels II (2016), inspiration emerges from headlines as we learn of the killings of unarmed youths at the hand of those who are supposed to protect us. The first three in the series are: 17 year old Trayvon Martin (2012), 18 year old Michael Brown (2014), and 12 year old Tamir Rice (2014). Their faces are layered under, on, and in between memorial monuments of stone crosses and death angels that guard and protect them as they wait for justice. We mourn their passing. They are our sons, our brothers, our friends, our nephews, our grandchildren, and more.
