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.

These types of printmaking take on an appearance as though the image is appearing of disappearing, as though remembered or not remembered, as though they are in transition.
