Chronicles of the Unseen - Luis Filipe Gomes

Louis Filipe has sent this arresting and unfinished narrative woodcut engraving along with two anecdotal stories, in response to my Chronicle son the Unseen that I sent him. Now, Ife Niklaus has been drawn into the circle too!

The narrative portrayed in the print is of police brutality and the disappearance of a brave man who intervened. I have some thoughts on how I will respond to this Luis, because it immediately brings to mind 'the disappearing' that has long been a stealthy police state tactic.

The drawing copy is of Luis and his mother eating rice and drinking syrah, and the original was sent to Ife Niklaus.

Thank you, Luis Filipe, these are very rich pieces you have sent, and already quite beloved by me.
