With its wavy shapes and silhouetted body, Sojourner Truth Parsons' painting evokes a seascape. Blues, pinks, and greens suggest organic forms but are presented as abstract shapes. The composition as a whole invokes a multitude of overlapping elements that form a layered surface that is dense, but at the same time bears a certain silhouetted flatness. The work of Sojourner Truth Parsons has an emotionally charged, dreamlike quality: it suggests an underlying narrative that is open-ended and ambiguous rather than rigid and settled.
