We Own Our Words

February 27, 2021 – May 9, 2021
<p>In the <em>Saints </em>series, Marin Burnett reflects on her experience as a Black woman in America. Burnett challenges the distorted and fragmented images of Black women through a societal lens, drawing a parallel to how light refracts around an object as it moves through water. <em>Refracted Saint No. 1 </em>envisions the differences between how Black women view themselves and the ways others see them. The work depicts a Black female body as a “whole saint” adorned with only a halo. Set against a vibrant gilded background, she occupies space with her refracted reflection in water. “As we pass through an intolerant society, our image is distorted, our light and our sainthood refracted – but we are somehow still whole,” Burnett has explained. “Real saints are not gilded, they are pained, flawed, and beautiful people.”&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p><p>Image: Marin Burnett, <em>Refracted Saint No. 1, 2019</em></p></p>

<p>Yes, that’s queer. You’re championing the underground. The forgotten ones. The forgotten rooms. You’re taking full color photographs of the overlooked parts. Look up, you missed something. Look behind you, you forgot to put someone in the picture. Look at what you’re missing. Who’s not here? Who should be in the room?</p> <p><p>Referenced Image: William Eggleston,&nbsp;<em><a href="https://collections.henryart.org/detail.php?term=eggleston&module=objects&type=keyword&sortby=maker&sortdir=asc&t=objects&kv=21766&record=3&module=objects">Untitled (Greenwood, Mississippi)</a></em>, 1973, printed 1980.&nbsp;Dye transfer print.&nbsp;Joseph and Elaine Monsen Photography Collection, gift of Joseph and Elaine Monsen and The Boeing Company,&nbsp;97.56.</p></p>
