STARSHINE AND CLAY
About the Artwork
Named for the Lucille Clifton poem “won't you celebrate with me”. The source photograph was originally published in National Geographic Magazine, Vol 42, October 1922. The original caption in French read “Bassa Belles en Fete” which roughly translates to “Bassa Beauties in Ceremonial Wear”.
About the Ancestor Collection
The Ancestor Collection seeks to recontextualize elements of Denisio's West-African heritage thru the vehicle of contemporary fashion. Denisio utilizes early 20th century photographs of indigenous West-African peoples and places them within a modern framework as a means of honoring the bridge between past and present.
