The Burial & Flight of Laura Nelson

The Burial & Flight of Laura Nelson

Maureen Kelleher. The Burial & Flight of Laura Nelson, 2002.

Description:
----------------- The Engraved text: The moment she jumped off of it, was the moment she touched down. Rest In Peace, Laura Nelson --------------------------- Artist's Note: Laura Nelson and her child were lynched in Oklahoma in 1911. I figure Laura and her child never received a proper burial, so this is a burial remembrance for them.

Medium:
Mixed Media
