Saturn/Cronus/Kersands
Saturn/Cronus/Kersands
Letterpress Print, ed. 15, 3 AP
14X11
2011

Inspired by the myth of Saturn devouring his sons. Saturn in this case is replaced by Billy Kersands (1842-1915), an African American minstrel man known for stuffing billiard balls in his mouth. The face in the mouth is the face of a white minstrel out of Blackface makeup.
