Notes
For five decades, Dindga McCannon has celebrated the histories of Black women in her multidisciplinary practice, which includes paintings, quilts, prints and sculpture. In recent paintings McCannon captures the joy of intergenerational connection and community. Mother and Child, is McCannon’s interpretation of a canonical image, using collaged elements to make it idiosyncratically hers. The words ‘unity’, ‘faith’ and ‘love’ line the figure of the mother’s clothing, capturing the intimacy and comfort of the relationship presented.
