These are the final days of my show, “Pretend Gravitas and Dream Aborted Givens” at @gagosian Park & 75 in NYC. Closing tomorrow Saturday June 4!!! Please go see it, I’m so so proud of this work. Big big thank you to @kayellepea @sirsargent and the rest of the Gagosian team that helped make this show a huge success. And to my new and old collectors 🙏🏾 1. [we be] eternal, 2022 2. Wip - surface is prepped and ready for paint 3. Libations for soul wares 4. Wip stage * Although these two paintings weren’t in the exhibition (they were in the viewing rooms) I’m sharing them here because they are an integral part of this larger narrative. **Shoutout to @taifreedomford for the title of painting #1 borrowed for her poem “imagined iterations of galaxies beyond the pedestal where whiteness is infinitesimal & verging extinction”
