“For Moorhead, the first time she saw herself reflected in a work of art, it wasn't in a museum. It was in her parent's house, going through her dad's record albums. The Funkadelic album covers of Pedro Bell featured black women in futuristic settings, surrounded by bright oranges and blues.”

Truth and Beauty: 10 Artists

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
