“2:1” By Bethany Joy Collins (Chalk and charcoal on blackboard)

Bethany Joy Collins was born in Montgomery, Alabama. Now she lives and works in Atlanta, Georgia. By combining, culling and rearranging historical and familial images, her work questions the inherent contradictions of racial identity in the South through erasable chalkboards, black paper drawings, and transparent vellum pieces. By attempting to represent this formation of racial identity, her work draws from interpretable childhood photographs, stories and memories-gathered, reinterpreted, and discarded in order to ground the individual self within the collective African-American narrative. Apparent opposites, distinct by definition yet not defined in opposition, remain central to her art. You can view more of her work at www.bethanyjoycollins.com
