BLACK: A Handbook

Description
"A companion piece to 'Negroes: A Handbook' (2015), 'Colored: A Handbook' (2020), and 'African American: A Handbook,' 'Black: A Handbook' continues the artist's discussion of race while exploring paper transformation—sifting the texture, surface, color, presence of a simple piece of paper." — Primrose Press
“Despite pandemic exhaustion and varied stressors or maybe because of them, making this edition was strangely calming. This handbook was inspired by artworks, my family, nature, but above all by the strength, perseverance, audacious artistry and unparalleled creativity, dignity, humanity and journey of a people who push forward against all efforts to the contrary.” — Tia Blassingame
