Patrice Renee Washington: Charts, Parts, and Holders

For this exhibition, Washington, who trained as a sculptor, has continued to add work to a recent series of ceramic bas-reliefs. Several of these works depict recognizable food items, organic and packaged, such as yams and Southern Recipe brand fried pork rinds. Additional new works feature the human body and tools used for grooming it. These subjects have in common stereotyped associations with Black bodies and culture.
