"This work is unlike any other, in its range of rich, conjuring imagery and its dexterity, its smart voice. Carroll-Hackett doesn’t spare us—but doesn’t save us—she draws a blueprint of power and class with her unflinching pivot: matter-of-fact and tender." —Jan Beatty

16 April 2017

“He fought because he actually felt safer fighting than running.”

Make art about the fear driving combative people, or about understanding and forgiving them.
