Get You That Sumbady
No full textI heard a Pastor say, get you a friend that will be a safe space where you can let out and process all your toxic emotions and feelings, and not feel judged. If not, you\u27ll end up embarrassing yourself in public when ‘em problematic thoughts respond to a trigger and bubble up to the surface. This journey, this place… it is a lot to handle and process on your own, I\u27m so blessed to have so many safe spaces! I love you all
Meraki
No full textMy work explores the relationship between wanting to be remembered and my innate love for art. Personally, this feeling is conveyed through the word, Meraki. It is a Greek word used to describe doing something with creativity, soul, or love. Inspired by this word, the piece explicitly shows my creativity, but implicitly represents me through an inanimate object that is a product of my efforts. Since the idea of being remembered can take on different forms for different people, my understanding of this is to have my efforts, work, and creations stand alone and be able to express who I am. Due to this, the best parts of myself that I want to persist inspire, and strengthen my love for art.
For a majority of the piece, acrylic paints were used. The acrylics were used to create the background comprised of the complementary colours, yellow and purple. This aims to illustrate an ethereal surrounding of leaves and other plant-like objects. Together, I wanted these elements to reflect a sort of dissonant harmony between the individual shapes outlined by each colour and the overall fusion of each leaf, and plant. Overall, these elements aimed to create an atmosphere of joy highlighting the joy art brings to my life!
Additionally, as I was in my embroidery appreciation phase, I decided to include that too. \u27Meraki\u27, the square border, and the main subject were embroidered with blue and green embroidery floss of different values. Through the distinctly coloured embroidery floss and line art of the Black woman in the foreground, I aimed to create an embodiment of the pursuit of leaving a mark in this world, and the hope of being memorable, striking, and genuine.https://ir.lib.uwo.ca/upliftingblackness_images/1002/thumbnail.jp

Jaysee Nails: Representing Black Women
No full textMy name is Olivia, and I’m a nail artist under the name Jaysee Nails. I’ve been doing nails since I was 15, and opened my business during the pandemic two years ago.
Since I started my business, my brand has been all about connecting with other Black women and giving them the space to express their creativity and interests with the world around them. I’m an avid protector of nail culture and nails as a quintessential accessory for Black women, despite stereotypes of long, colorful nails as “ghetto” or “unprofessional”.
Additionally, as a queer Black woman, I want make sure that my brand and my work are inclusive of any and everyone who wants to get their nails done - being fabulous has no gender! My ultimate dream is to own my own salon that also acts as a safe space for Black women that can help empower and bring us together.
This piece is a set of nails meant to celebrate the vibrancy and beauty of all kinds of Black women. I chose this colorful pop-art style to show how I see Black women: as fun, gorgeous, and carefree. I wanted to include a myriad of different hairstyles, skin tones, and styles for each girl to showcase the diversity of Black female presentation - our beauty is in our variety! These nails are made entirely with gel nail products.
It may seem like an unorthodox art form, but creating art through nails has been the most amazing journey for me! Like with fashion, nails allow you to tell people who you are without needing to say a word. All I want my brand to do is encourage people to express themselves, and do it loudly.https://ir.lib.uwo.ca/upliftingblackness_images/1020/thumbnail.jp
LLJ
No full textEach drawing encapsulates where my head was at during a certain point in time. I have no formal art training, so I typically just draw what I feel, what I am enjoying at a particular time, what consumes my thoughts, or something I would just like to reimagine through my own interpretation. I hope looking at these inspires some positive reactions.https://ir.lib.uwo.ca/upliftingblackness_images/1017/thumbnail.jp
Rollercoaster Ride
No full textThis picture truly captures my mental state in the past few months. Simply put, I\u27ve embarked on this trip...and it\u27s a trip in every sense of the word. It certainly doesn\u27t feel like a journey; this impending sense of doom provides the illusion that at any time I’ll be asked to step off. And yet on this trip I\u27m feeling it all, seeing it all, expressing it all. On this roller-coaster of emotions I am unraveling. In a time when I would hold onto my faith as my anchor, I feel washed ashore. But I know that even in this, as I lay liken to driftwood on a vast beach You will overwhelm me with Your glory. I will look out onto the water and remember that this is the same God that places each grain of sand, that stretches out over the water. The same God that called me by name.https://ir.lib.uwo.ca/upliftingblackness_images/1010/thumbnail.jp
Untitled
No full textMy artwork contemplates the day-to-day lived realities of marginalized identities. Although I use both acrylics on canvas and graphite on paper within my work, I use these different mediums to express the same underlying messages. I aim for viewers to interact with my work and see parts of themselves within the subjects of the drawings and paintings, regardless of the differences between their personal identities and the subjects portrayed. As a black-identifying person of colour, it is extremely important for me to see people of colour represented in the visual arts. Moreover, through my artwork, I strive not only to have representation that is visual, but emotive as well. My work is largely a reaction to the micro-aggressions that minorities face. The build-up of negative emotion-inducing experiences is often repressed by individuals and largely undermined in a broad societal context. The harshness of lines and boldness of colour within my work is a call against this silence while the softer elements and indistinct transitions between tones shed light on the complex and often difficult to work through emotional experiences of minority groups. Through the contrast in colour and shape within my artworks, I mirror the multi-faceted nature of the everyday experiences of minority groups. As well, combining various textures and varieties of realism within pieces draws attention to the varying levels of one’s true emotion and experience shared with the world and community around them. These artworks invite viewers to reflect upon the extent to which they allow themselves to be vulnerable and honour the validities of their struggles in a world of systemic suppression.https://ir.lib.uwo.ca/upliftingblackness_images/1007/thumbnail.jp
