M. Florine Démosthène’s mixed-media and collage works “posit the Black female body as a myriad of collective experiences beyond immediate interpretations based on sensuality and fetishization. Her ample-shaped figures are largely autobiographical with depictions capturing folds, curves, child-bearing, and other recognizable feminine attributes.” Using an almost alchemical process she discovered when several pens exploded in her bag, staining the mylar inside, allows her to be unpredictable instead of searching for perfection.
