Rugged, 2021
Rugged is a one page abstract non-sequitur one page comic
in response to Joe Minter’s Old Rugged Cross, 1998. This
piece was created as an offering for the Mia’s Transcontinental
Dialogue project; a virtual altar created for the gallery show
In the Presence of Our Ancestors.
In this piece, I tried to convey the emotion and the emotional
weight and sorrow that accompanies Joe Minter’s original
piece and the story behind it of Denise McNair, Addie Mae
Collins, Carole Robertson, and Cynthia Wesley, who’s lives
were lost in the 16th Street Baptist Church Bombing.
