I am Black Not Dangerous Show

This Saturday the “I am Black not Dangerous” show took place. I selected some older pieces to be in the show, but was able to submit a newer piece called “The Spirit” (2x2’). It is a combination of pyrography (wood burning) and acrylic paint. The face is wood burned with painted additions, there are some carvings on the left side of the arm and dug up sections where the torso is; the rest of it is painted.

The model who posed for this picture is Synead Nichols, a performing artist local to NYC.
