Abstract

This multifaceted book brings together poems, historical documents, photographs, and archival documents to reclaim the archive as a space for creative reflection. The letter and photos bleed together through the transparent paper, developing a dialogue between photographs and historical records that connects writings to images. The letter is reproduced on transparent paper followed by archival black-and-white images of Catlett working on the Armstrong monument, a process that included many personal and financial struggles.
