When FMP was first launched back in January, I was at a bit of a loss as to how to approach it. Did I want to do screen printed posters? Paintings? Papercuts. I thought it would be a good idea to look at other well known practising black artists and the subjects they approached.
Ellen Gallagher, Godfried Donker, Mickalene Thomas, Keith Piper, Kara Walker
I think the most inspirational work I researched was Kara Walker. I really love her life-sized papercuts and the simplicity, narrative and power behind her images.
