WE HOLD Marginalia

WE HOLD Marginalia 15.25 x 33 inches open, 2026 Ink and acrylic on paper, accordion fold book with box. Thomas Jefferson wrote the draft of the Declaration of Independence. The committee then debated and compromised to create a document the colonies would agree on. They knew it was flawed and that the ountry would change, amendments would be needed. The marginalia on the sides are historical notes. I would like that kind of thoughtfulness and leadership now.
