To start, I interviewed two really good friends of mine about an image I am very fond of. It is a painting by Kerry James Marshall titled School of Beauty, School of Culture (2012). I also had a plan I brainstormed really quickly. Sometimes I just really want to get my thoughts on paper.

This is the image. I love this image so much because it is so familiar to me; in the interview notes I wrote that one of the people I interviewed said they could smell hair products among other sensory alerts. It was so dope to hear that–to be an artist that can do that is the ultimate goal. Moving people past emotion and into an almost 4th-dimensional-enviroment is a skill I think I have yet to add to my tool belt, but I hope to acquire soon in the future.
