Coverage of the work made under collective authorship

The travelling mural made with the Lummi Nation’s House of Tears Carvers was covered widely and, at the artist’s request, almost always without an individual credit. These accounts document the work rather than the name, which is the intended result. The reasoning is on the Practice page.
