Stolen is a digital illustration printed on archival cold press paper with archival pigments. After printing, each image has been sewn into at the corners. These are varied editions as each length of thread is slightly different each time. This image was inspired by the Stolen podcast written and produced by Canadian Journalist Connie Walker. These prints are dedicated to Jermain Charlo, who has been missing since 2018 and is presumed deceased. The term stolen can certainly speak to all that has been stolen from Indigenous people throughout time.
