This diptych by Sojourner Truth Parsons depicts two floral compositions set against a dark background. The background of one of the paintings is highlighted by a blue rectangular shape that creates the feeling of physical space and perspective within the work, while the flowers depicted in the adjacent painting seem to be floating in the dark dreamlike environment characteristic of Sojourner Truth Parsons’ work. The work of Sojourner Truth Parsons has an emotionally charged quality: it suggests an underlying narrative that is open-ended and ambiguous rather than rigid and settled.
