The work expresses the hope for universal justice, freedom, kindness and peace with humanistic/poetic texts from the Bible, Hillel, Martin Luther King Jr., I. Brubeck, and others. Six images by Ed Colker respond to elements of the language sung in English.
A painter and graphic artist, Ed Colker founded the not-for-profit Haybarn Press in 1960 for development of fine art editions in response to poetic texts. Most recent exhibition of selections at Poets House, New York City, summer 2010.
