For friends

 

For many there was a great sigh of relief when Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were inaugurated without violence; and graciously offered hope and anew way to many.

I knew I wanted to print something to mark the day and to be able to offer them to friends; and so these micro-posters (aka postcards) rolled off one of DEP's presses. I started with words picked up from friends' messages as you see below; and then picked out the words that would act as shorthand for the statements.

As you see below the posters took on many shades of colour; but the colour that they were printed in is strong purple. Purple for suffragettes; purple for Kamala's coat; purple for the equal place of women in society; and purple for ............ 

And there was even a bit of metal dusting on a few!!!!

Because one does not want to waste ink in the end I printed some paper scraps from the cutting bench so that individual words were also captured.

We can breathe again; we can hope; and we will persist.
