GHOSTS of PILGRIMS PAST



"Ghosts of Pilgrims Past" was a spontaneous Thanksgiving art project, completely conceived and enacted by children at the family gathering. Troy's Work Table assigned the Pilgrims after the fact, but the art project, its curation, and the accompanying performance piece were all initiated by the wee ones.

Clockwise from upper left:

(1) John Carver.

(2) William Bradford.

(3) William Burton, the only Pilgrim to die on the Mayflower's voyage from England to the New World, and therefore buried at sea. The text reads: "I am going to haunt you...forever! BOO!"

(4) Elizabeth Hopkins.
