This painting is from the Within, Between, and Beyond series (first exhibited at the Minneapolis Institute of Art 2021). In this body of work I celebrate polyvocality, the power of many voices to shift and sustain narrative change. From 2019 - 2020 I connected with and interviewed participants for this series. The resulting sixteen portrait paintings and corresponding documentary videos invite us to hold space for, recognize, and reconsider our presumptions about race. The title of this exhibition came from an essay on multiracial identity by Maria P.P. Root, which asks us to consider the contradictions and questions that arise in a country going through an identity crisis layered with historical amnesia.Artwork Details
