99% NO.54 2013

Editor: This is Sedrick Huckaby's drawing, "99% NO.54." The visible handwriting makes it feel deeply personal. How do you read the image and its context? Curator: The text anchors this piece in a specific economic reality, immediately raising questions of labor, family, and systemic inequality. Huckaby's work often highlights the narratives of marginalized communities. How does the raw style of the drawing contribute to this reading? Editor: It feels very immediate, like a snapshot of a real person's struggle, almost like testimony. Curator: Precisely. Huckaby transforms the personal into the political. The drawing urges us to consider individual lives within broader systems of power and inequality. It makes us reflect.
