The Last Supper

There was a recent story in the Washington Post abut Julie Green, renowned painter and art professor with Oregon State University, who died earlier this month. They (Julie preferred the gender-neutral pronoun) were "a wide ranging artist whose paintings ... examined gender roles, wrongful conviction, animal abuse and their own colourful life". They were particularly known for The Last Supper project - nearly 1,000 white plates with cobalt blue artwork that depicted the last meal of prisoners destined to the death chamber and which spurred debate over capital punishment and, some suggested, allowed a window into the life of a prisoner. Many of the works are currently on display at the Bellevue Arts Museum.
Julie had also been working on a series called First Meal depicting the first meal of those who were released after a wrongful conviction.
