Attempting to capture the performance of my solitude. Intimacy with the body, the mind, and objects (camera, statue, myself(?)). The body being Black, masc., young, athletic. The mind being lost and found, within liminal space. The objects: a statue, an apartment (wood floor, plaster wall, window).
Taken soon before another move across the country, I found myself pressed to reflect on my time in this place (St. Louis, MO). I was anxious to capture myself, this place, and this time. These photos are portraits of my attempts to reconcile my time in Missouri and see myself bare.
Materials: DSLR camera, body, home, unknown mixed plastics
BLK is a stylization of Blackness. These are images of, and interpretations of Black America. They are contemporary iconography and representation beginning to think about and deploy abstractionist and surrealist tools. The subjects are moments of Blackness and health, from death to gestation and reflection on the process .
Materials: Linen canvas, Acrylic paint
