"In Your Place"
“In Your Place” explores the cyclicality of the mammy icon and how it persists through pervasive cultural signifiers and figureheads. Using red as a thread of maternity and sacrifice, I construct scenes this presence would inhabit while amplifying stuffiness and chaos within visual stillness. Through the purposeful control of light what is unearthed is allowed the subjugation of visual attack yet the undisclosed is the heart of these images and the structure of power this presence has historically wielded.
