This is the sole first edition print of Dorothy in Motion, a portrait honoring jazz harpist Dorothy Ashby. It is one of only two works that survived the house fire that consumed the artist’s home and studio—making it not just a reproduction, but a relic of resilience.
 
The print carries with it the memory of everything that was lost, and the quiet strength of what remained. Dorothy’s fingers suspended in motion mirror the suspended moment of survival—the music between destruction and rebirth.
