Still Life

Arkansas 18 June 1990Artist and teacher Julie Green paints the Last Supper menus of death row inmates, originally as published in Oklahoma newspapers, a state where the per capita execution rate is higher than Texas. Via Open Culture.

To the left: Arkansas, 1990,  Barbecue chicken, rice & gravy, pinto bean, fresh early June peas, fresh squash, peaches, hot rolls, tea.

More here showing plates of many states.

"My long term hopes for the project," concludes the artist in the video short below,  "are that we'd stop having capital punishment .. and that I'd stop painting plates."  Amen.




The artist narrates a fuller Last Supper slide show below:
