Sojourner Truth Parsons The woman of my dreams II, 2025
Acrylic on canvas
45,7 x 35,6 cm
Executed in acrylic on canvas, The woman of my dreams II adopts a visual language of stillness: two steady candles, one white, one black, beneath two flowers, one pink, one red, held by a delicately contoured vase. Squared, flattened, yet densely saturated, these objects reflect the artist's concern with edges–where and how things meet, merge or coalesce: “a color next to a texture next to a flatness,” as she put it. Painted in thin, flat layers, the work appears in a slow pace, redolent of eyes adjusting to the pitch of night.
