erasure/agitation is a book that chronicles the enduring impact of the Civil War in America. Using historical statements, photography and personal memory a multi-layered narrative emerges that struggles to locate, within the contemporary landscape, the legacy of abolitionists Frederick Douglass and John Brown.
The lives of these friends was marked by change and the singular moral conviction that slavery was the deepest sin that existed in America at that time. Images selected for the erasure/agitation were taken in Maryland, Washington DC, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.
