ABOUT THE ARTWORK
In telling each woman’s story through their portraits, I also wanted them to bring something of their own to the paintings, choosing an article of clothing, for example—a sort of symbolic collaboration. This is especially salient in Floodlines the portrait of artist Carol Leak, a native New Orleanian. For her portrait, she chose to wear the clothes she had on while evacuating ahead of hurricane Katrina. Her choice inspired the painting, which evokes the iconic images of receding floodlines seen on the walls of homes flooded by the storm. The high watermark almost covers her, indicating the danger she escaped—but the floodlines slowly recede down as the city dries, looking ahead, with hope, towards recovery. There is one thing the water does not cover: The Black Lives Matter pin Carol wore on her jacket. Not even a flood can wash away her earnest commitment as an ally to all people of color.
