Kate Howe, 2022, photographic print of Eiko, not Sada, black or gold frame, brass nameplate reading “Eiko, not Sada".

“Eiko not Sada: The Ghost Edition in White Frame – She is there with us, protecting us as we dare to consider memory, that which came before, to honor what was, she haunts the work so we don’t have to. She holds our collective trauma while we stand with historical truth.” - Kate Howe.

“Eiko not Sada: The Divine Edition in Gold Frame – She protects us: she gives us the faith to sign our work, to dare to make work knowing it could be mistaken for autobiography, she says: I am here while you contemplate that most dangerous thing: agency. She protects us while we look, ponder, dare to have faith, dare to say I am here, this was me.” - Kate Howe.
