This abstract artwork features a dynamic composition of angular, geometric shapes in a bold color palette. The dominant hues are shades of rust, ochre, and deep purple, with accents of vibrant yellow.

Myra Greene is an American artist whose practice explores notions of race, identity, labour and history. Working across photography and textiles, Greene traces fragmented narratives, such as disconnected histories, estranged family connections, or separated Black bodies, and reconfigures them into new constellations.
