"This cropped image offers a snapshot into someone's home, an intimate moment between two people. There is no obvious agenda, the figures in the painting are being allowed the time and space to breathe. To float on the surface, yet still have a sense of being rooted in a space. Where the black body is so often instantly politicized, fetishized and criticized, I want these paintings to represent black woman authentically, existing and thriving.” - Miranda Forrester, 2021.
