These paintings are dramatic renditions of the black middle class men and women shown in photographs during the Paris Exposition in 1900 only 35 years after Emancipation from American slavery! Although not a secret, this historic segment of the American population is not widely acknowledged. There is a depth to our African American ancestry that we need to be able to build on; the wooden box is a symbol that can both hold the truth and tell the truth. I utilize my drawing and painting skills to represent these people, our family heirlooms.
The works range in size and the boxes have various depths. They are found, purchased and handmade wood boxes. I show them singly, but preferably in groups. They stack or hang from the wall. They cross the boundaries of sculpture and painting. The medium is acrylic paint.
