Description
Large ceramic jugs crowd the foreground of this black and white photograph documenting a Prohibition-era police raid, their weathered surfaces suggesting illicit production and distribution of alcohol. Behind them, officers and confiscated bottles line a ornate bar counter in an interior space rendered in stark monochromatic tones that emphasize the gravity and chaos of law enforcement intervention. Crafted from durable canvas-like poly-poplin and made to order, double-stitched with a cotton webbing strap. The everyday haul, from groceries to the beach, carrying an independent artist's work.
