“The spaces Black people inhabit are at once physical, immaterial and carried thru our bones, thru time and back out into the world,” says Azikiwe Mohammed ’05. “Thru drawing, collage, sculpture and a variety of works that swing between those spaces, Devin N. Morris provides us with a look at the entirety of a language at once gay, Black and deeply personal, while maintaining a familiarity that makes his grandmother’s house in Baltimore feel like my grandmother’s house in Westbury, Long Island.”
