New Additions: Jared Owens
This episode features artist Jared Owens in conversation about his work "Shadowboxing #3" (2022).
Jared Owens, a descendant of three generations of Harlemites, was born and raised in Rockland County, New York. Owens was encouraged towards the arts at a young age due to his family's collection of art objects and his public school's art program. Through a variety of media including painting, sculpture, and installation, Owens explores and makes visible the structures of confinement within our society, among many other themes. The painting in our collection, Shadowboxing #3, evidences Owens's use of a hand-crafted stamp based on the Brooks diagram, which is arguably the most circulated image associated with the slave trade in its abolition.
