Sojourner Truth Parsons Picking flowers alone, 2022
Acrylic on linen
71,1 x 55,9 cm
Set against the background of what appears to be a darkened room with a large square window, a lit candle is placed in the center of this painting by Sojourner Truth Parsons. A blue expanse is visible through the window.
The work of Sojourner Truth Parsons has an emotionally charged, dreamlike quality: it suggests an underlying narrative that is open-ended and ambiguous rather than rigid and settled. Oblique references to figures and objects appear but their significance remains shrouded.
