Illustrations for States of Incarceration, an national dialogue of local historiescompleted with a group of women serving a life sentence in Dayton, OH.
The images are made to emphasize that the person is a human being -- not a lifer, offender, inmate, criminal, convict, murderer, or other dehumanizing label. The women’s discussions focused on the familial, legal, institutional, and existential challenges that accompany life sentences. This piece is collaborative, including the voices and perspectives of the entire group.
This image was later used to create information graphics used in the exhibition.
