& / Kate Fredricks
Kate Fredricks' unique take on "AND" uses the ampersand &. It mirrors her love of the ukulele. In 1889 Queen Liliuokalani was the last reigning monarch of the Hawaiian islands. She was summarily deposed by the government of the United States. Kate used scans of Aloha shirts and a lei for the ampersand in tribute to Hawaii's last reigning monarch. Ironically, Kate's & falls between Liberty and Justice, neither of which did the Hawaiian natives enjoy by the deposition of their Queen.
