‘Saint Sebastian’ 2022 Hand Processed 4x5 Film Martyrdom been on my mind Extended exhibition text on slide II This portrait was the first of the 10 large-format portraits of harlemites in their homes that I made throughout the summer for this series, and the second time I have staged Saint Sebastian, so thank you Javon @so4pbars for offering your time and your home to help bring this to life. I’m incredibly grateful to each and every person involved who worked diligently with me all summer to create this special project. Thank you @sadeelharlem for your incredible vision and guidance, @tamarablakechapman and @oliviaharrisss for helping at every step, from loading the negatives in my living room to helping me process the film in my bathroom, and @ashleyypenaa for being by my side and pushing me through the whole process. I cant wait to share all the images with the world, but for now you gotta go to Harlem. ‘The Seventh Day’ series on view at @facesofharlem Aug 6 - Nov 30
