Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features a dramatic, abstract black and white composition. The dark, brooding tones create a sense of depth and mystery, with amorphous shapes and blots of light that seem to float and drift across the frame. The technique appears to be a form of experimental photography, perhaps using techniques like cameraless or chemigram processes that generate organic, unpredictable patterns. The overall effect is evocative and atmospheric, inviting the viewer to ponder the hidden narratives and textures beneath the surface. This avant-garde piece likely reflects the artist's interest in exploring the inherent properties of the photographic medium itself. ...

B.1975, American

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. Her earlier photographic work utilises the 19th-century process of ambrotype: a technique which involves longer exposure and which is associated with slavery daguerreotypes. Evoking the complex conversation on colonialism and Black body, the artist depicts her own physical features, lips, nose, or skin, detached from the rest of herself. More recently, Greene creates large textile pieces composed of triangular-shaped, colourful pieces of fabric stitched together. To produce them, the artist silk-screens patterns inspired by Dutch prints over African fabrics; yet again creating a meeting point between distinct histories. Greene’s practice is incredibly rich in both the amount of historical intricacy it invites and its vibrancy of colour. ...
