Material Matters is an intergenerational presentation of works by four artists who utilize differing materials to accentuate their commentary on issues related to home, the African-American experience, and the trajectory of a life lived. The booth includes works on handmade paper by Helen Evans Ramsaran, sculpture pieces of found material by Tyrone Mitchell, abstract paintings by Carl E. Hazlewood, and works with graphite and acrylic on hand cut paper by Oasa DuVerney. Our presentation foregrounds these divergent materials while also envisioning the parallels within these differing works.
