I was looking at the serigraph again this morning and thinking about how it really needs to be on a stamp so it can travel into people's homes everywhere. It has been such a journey talking to folks who remember seeing the piece in various city halls or schools which honestly feels like the whole point of this project.

I see this serigraph in the school and it always catches my eye. It would look perfect as a stamp. Hope this happens soon.
