Original artwork description:

This is a monoprint of an ex-slave taken from the American archives that recorded hundreds of ex-slaves in photography. I have been working my way through this archive, creating a series of portraits for my other project '12 Disciples' as part of my larger ongoing project titled 'Lost Generations', intended for a solo exhibition in 2021 with paintings, prints, sculpture and installations.

During the process of working with these images I am also creating a series of monoprints that are being used to explore other experimental printworks, exploring new ways of creating drawings/ prints that take on the appearance of realist/ photorealism forms, grounded in areas associated with memory, time, history and entropy.
