I'd been thinking about that style ever since and I finally finished the work. Thank you @___niama___ for the inspiration and for shining brightly, confidently, and unapologetically. And, to @artnoirco for being a symbol of community for Black and Brown artists. This work will be in a group show alongside some of THE GREATS opening tonight 2July2022 @ 6-8pm for Collage/Assemblage @ericfirestonegallery East Hampton. Thanks @lilydsnyder for including me. 📸 Max Yawney
