Reclamation
Reclamation, oil on 24×36 gallery wrapped canvas. I created this work as a visual interpretation for the book of poems, Bessie’s Resurrection, by Kimberly A. Collins. Kimberly’s collection resurrects the voices of three women characters who share a name and a history of blues, triumphs, and adversities unique to the Black Experience. I elected to portray these women as heroines, resurrected and reclaiming their power.
