by Loli Kantor
Limited edition of 500 artist book. Numbered and signed by artist 87 pages, hard cover, reproduction of palladium prints and color images. Photographs by Loli Kantor. Essay by Anne Helmreich, “Witnessing and Making Memory”
“Memory and hope are visible in the moving and surprising scenes of daily life among the revived Jewish communities of Poland and Ukraine. The palladium prints echo the indelible images of Roman Vishniac and others whose recording of the shtetl and its inhabitants in the 1930s proved to be the final snapshots of a doomed life.”

To the Flag: A Parade and Memoir to the Chimes of Freedom by Karen Davis
74 pages, 56 color photographs, premium luster paper, Davis Orton Gallery Editions via blurb 11 pages of memoir, lyrics of Chimes of Freedom 
Civil rights, Vietnam, the right of labor to organize, the Gulf Wars, a woman’s right to choose… for over fifty years I’ve marched to take a stand. While I saw my acts as patriotic, it was the opposition that wrapped itself in the flag. It should come as no surprise that I harbored a deep distrust of people making too much of a fuss over our flag. The catalyst for this book was a Flag Day Parade in Hudson NY, my new hometown. As the parade passed, thoughts turned to vivid memories of the flag, shared national experiences and long-held beliefs. Although the sounds of bagpipes, horns and drums filled the air, the song in my head was Bob Dylan’s Chimes of Freedom.

The McCann Family by Karen Davis
7″ x 7″ blurb, 2008
$19.95 plus shipping
Family Memoir: When we were small, my younger sister, Cheryl, had a set of four mechanical dolls. She called them the McCann Family. They were a thinly disguised version of the Davis family. Cheryl decided that she was “Tom McCann,” the boy doll. I think she liked the idea of being the spunky and adventurous child. At first Tom could stand on his own. Later he lost his balance all the time. Cheryl diagnosed Tom with Polio. She fitted him with crutches and braces just like hers. (Cheryl was born with spina bifida.)
