"I have been suspending things is black space since 2001 and the concept then , and that still
remains for me today, is that black space represents silence, both in music and in the
most sacred of all spaces, the Human Heart. However, what we have witnessed
in Minnesota by Federal agents---by orders from of our presidet's
Administration is . . . deeply Heart-Breaking."

Part Six:
Abductions, Family Separations,
Detentsion Centers, Killings
Six Photographs from my 1975-76 blog project
The Persephone Series
This project is based on real events in my family-life that paralleled the Greek Myth of Persephone
who was abducted by Hades and held captive, separated from her mother Demeter in the Underworld.
Our Federal Government (ICE) has been abducting and caging our own Immigrants, Citizens, Children,
and Separating Parents from their Children, Torturing, Shooting, Killing . . .
"The Greek Child-God, Persephone, grimacing & tearing after she was
abducted by Hades, separated from her mother, Demeter, and
being held captive in the dark Underworld."

reunited with her daughter Persephone"
"Persephone, feeling sad and lonely, bathing her feet
in the dark waters of an Underworld stream"
"Gloria and Jessica . . . with an Eclipsed Moon"
This picture is--for me--about Gloria and Jessica getting back together after Jessica's
stay in Milwaukee's Children's Hospital for several days where she nearly died
from a very serious bacterial infection that mutated into a viral infection.
Jessica was under a year old at the time. I explain the whole story here.
"Hades, God of the Underworld, creating more and more mythic 'Underworlds'"
