The Nanny Painting

This is an acrylic painting made on a found plastic food tray. It is a historical-type portrait of a black nanny holding her charge: a white baby. She looks at the observer with a mild expression that is open for interpretation. The piece speaks to our shifting moral code and the inherent injustice of our collective history. That being said, there is no judgement, just a presentation of fact. The choice of surface echoes the necessity within our society for a servant class. The image is a slice of Americana that contrasts a harmonious composition with very disharmonious subject matter. There are holes in the plastic by which a hook or loop can be inserted unseen.
