Divide and Conquer, Rosendale, New York: Women's Studio Workshop, 2007, numbered 15 of 40, signed by Cummins, numerous interchangeable prints housed in divided linen clamshell case
Provenance: Private Collection, Asheville, North Carolina
Note: Inspired by the game known as Exquisite Corpse, developed and played by the Surrealists, this project explores ideas of race, class, power, and oppression through the use of the early history of the Ku Klux Klan. Through this interactive medium, Cummins "gives the reader/viewer the power to align and combine the printed elements in a variety of different and thought provoking ways" that raise questions about "how communities come together and are torn apart." (Cummins, Artist's Statement, website)
