This two part meditation begins with a reading of Sieg Maandag's life and work, and then moves to a sustained exploration of a doubled portrait of the artist in a painting and a photograph. We explore how Skorczewski and Maandag-Ralph become witnesses to the witness as they locate Sieg Maandag's art on the "aching dark terrain of life after trauma and violence" (Levitt, 2020, 9)
