Black’s solo exhibition will display portraits of elderly men and women, some of which are from the nursing home that Black has been associated with for the past 12 years. Black uses strong marks that are carved into linoleum or wood to construct portraits that exaggerate the aging process.
The final portraits are printed on delicate rice paper that could symbolize the thin, fragility of the skin of an elderly person.
“We are able to learn so much by sitting down and speaking with an elderly person, they have so much knowledge about life before us”, Black said.
