On the cover: Ryan Adams, We Gonna Be Alright, 17 x 22″, digital print on 310/gsm Etching Rag. Courtesy of the artist. “Created during early quarantine, in my ‘gem’ style, it’s inspired by a Kendrick Lamar song. Made with a bright color palette to reflect my feelings as the words resonated, the mantra kept me focused and I knew we were going to make it through.” (See page 30).
