Leah Solomon (@leahsxlo) outlines artist Leah Jaynes Karp's 1982 mixed media series, made in response to the Atlanta Child Murders of 1979-1981, for Burnaway's STORM SIGNAL theme.

"In her collages, the labor of mothering and the labor of making converge, registering both the immediate crisis of vanishing children and the long continuum of Black maternal vigilance. Her work is not simply an act of mourning; it is an act of futurity—an attempt to secure a place for her children in tomorrow." Read more from Solomon's STORM SIGNAL feature at the link in bio. — 1.
