Monday, November 4, 2024 3:44PM"She's an artist who has, over the past two decades, created artworks that shift the paradigm in how we see Black women," says Renée Mussai, independent curator for the exhibition.
"She works through a Black feminist prism of desire," says Mussai. "There is a very palpable sense of visual pleasure and visual liberation."There are nearly 50 works on display. She says that Thomas' works are "not only rupturing the canon, but suturing it with a new visuality.""Those rhinestones play and speak with light, so they create a kind of glimmer and a sparkle, and the works become very much alive," she says."There is an homage to her mother, Sandra Bush. There is an homage to former lovers and friends.
