Paul Marcus... The Promised Land (1999, 2 blocks woodcut). Part of Yearning to Breathe Free - A portfolio of 12 woodcuts in an edition of 25. "...In 1992 at age 22, Rosa fled her village with its 19th century technology, where she had lived 17 years, in a feudal state, where the 20th century breaks in only with Army helicopters, guns and tanks, light bulbs and a single telephone; where adulthood is not defined as a rite of passage from one age to another but is measured by the amount of coffee beans you can pick. She grew up in a community that under normal circumstances would mean a harsh existence; add to this decades of Civil War, and the circumstances ensure human disaster." From Works by Paul Marcus at Graphic Witness.
