@tandafrancis does extraordinary works large and small, I got to see the Shirley Chisholm clay bust when Tanda was pregnant. It was beautiful and the first time I’ve seen S.Chisholm anything without her glasses! It was a masterpiece. The Warmth and integrity of this historic figure came through the humanity and individuality was well worked by Tanda hands through the clay. Congratulations Tanda your work is outstanding. . Posted @withregram @tandafrancis In this last minut...es of Black History month, I’m reflecting on a couple of moments which pins the work I do within the frame of our history which I really feel should never be confined to a month. Black history is world history somehow segregated. I love that we can take the time to celebrate our history but can’t help but to see that it’s lack of incorporation into general history is problematic. Take my Adorn Me Installation (formerly located in Forte Green Park). It’s now installed st Exchange Place - by the waterfront of Jersey City. I was being interviewed for a digital guided tour on a sculpture walk and I was informed but the interviewer (a local) that Adorn Me’s new home was a historic site - a very important Underground Railroad hub. A last stop point leading to the freedoms of brave men women and children escaping slavery to freedom. Adorn Me’s placement on exchange place became not only a monument to the the runner’s crossroads. But a testament to a country who’s ground is so swollen with the hidden roots of it’s own history that it does not take much to trip over a good chunk of it unexpectedly. If we don’t know out shared history then we will continue to have a problem seeing the realities of who we are as a country today. Today we are definitely trippin . The first picture was taken a earlier in the month just before I sent off a Bust I had just completed of Shirley Chisholm to be installed in front her former Elementary School stay tuned . The last pic New Site confirmed! Another riverside site for my goddesses . Quensbourogh Bridge Park Where I will be installing my Depth of Shadow project this summer.
