"Through fictional and historical narratives, Descendant traces a personal southern lineage that begins with Gibson, an African brought to Jamestown, Virginia, in the 1600's, and stretches twelve generations and 400 years into the present."--Artist's statement.

The panels contain text on recto and verso and can be partially removed, but are held to the whole by braided twine. The niches are covered and hinged (top, bottom, and one side) with goat parchment. With stud and ring clasp, the ring on one end of braided twine that passes through the middle of the wooden panels and prohibits complete removal of any text panel.
