When thinking about the physical nature of my paintings, installations and moving image work, I ask you to pay attention to the veil that exists between what I call lenses—lenses that hold information and represent perception—making visible and acknowledging a space that we cannot comprehend. Blackness as an opaque space, where the world we see is not in our own reflection, but the reflection of many. Where we can speak about relationships that we hold as individuals or groupings of people, a space between knowledge, where we can speak about the unconscious, where we can speak about memory and amnesia, where we can speak about difference as something beautiful.
Black is beautiful.
