Artist statement:
I asked etta to send me a list of names of people killed by police in the past two years, thinking I’d get a list maybe 2-or-3 hundred Names. It was shocking that in years 2020 and 2021 contained over 1,725 names. Too many Names!
This is not new or original but i hope it reflects his legacy. I hope it is a fitting tribute
The names came from Mapping Police Violence database.
