Genevieve Gaignard, Photographer, New York

Description

This mixed-media collage by artist and photographer Genevieve Gaignard is assembled over a green quilted, button-tufted upholstery pattern. The composition features various cut-out vintage photographic elements depicting Black women in retro hairstyles and formal attire, including a prominent portrait of a woman with an afro in the lower right and a striking side profile on the left. Scattered across the surface are botanical illustrations of pink and cream roses, delicate lace doilies, green faceted emerald gemstone decals, and gloved hands holding paper currency and a locket.
