99% NO.46 Sarah 2013

Curator: Let's spend a moment with Sedrick Huckaby's "99% NO.46 Sarah," a small, intimate sketch. Editor: My immediate feeling is quiet contemplation, almost a melancholic embrace of the self. Curator: The raw, unrefined lines, that scribbling technique...it speaks to the artist's process, a direct connection to the materials and the subject, likely part of a series exploring identity. Editor: You know, it feels like the artist is right there in the room, wrestling with the charcoal to capture something fleeting, something profound. It's Sarah's vulnerability laid bare. Curator: I find myself thinking about Huckaby's larger body of work, his exploration of African American life through quilting and portraiture, how this drawing might be a study of sorts, a meditation on the materials of labor and life. Editor: It's a beautiful, humble piece, prompting thought on the quiet moments of reflection and resilience. I'll be pondering Sarah for a while.
