Sojourner Truth Parsons Fear Three, 2022
Acrylic on canvas
96 x 61 x 5 cm
The graphic clarity of Parsons’ compositions functions as a misdirection, as color and shape remain in continuous flux, oscillating between representation and abstraction. 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. Oblique references to figures and objects appear but their significance remains shrouded.
