@britishvogue ⁣ . ⁣ . ⁣ . ⁣ “Championing Black women and their stories is mirrored in the work of Tschabalala Self, the sought-after young artist who, like McCannon, hails from Harlem. Commissioned by Avant Arte to create a public sculpture installed in King’s Cross, Self decided to make a larger than life (at three metres) bronze of a seated woman. She is, like many of Self’s women, not a representation of a single woman but an amalgam inspired by many women she knows. Quiet yet imposing, the figure is also an arbiter of stylish dressing, in calf-length heeled boots and a wide-brimmed hat.More of Self’s work is on view at Pilar Corrias.” - #CharlotteJansen
