Truth and Beauty: 10 Artists written by Cara Ober in Bmore Art

“I’m not preoccupied with what is beautiful , ugly, dissonant, profane or sacred for that matter. I just want to create work that make me feel what ‘is.’ I find ‘beauty’ in the honest and potent representations of our humanity. The things that I feel on my spine. Black people, to some extent, are both alienated and coveted for our ‘beauty’.” - Elissa Blount Moorhead
