Abstract
MY WORK CENTRES ON AN EXPLORATION OF Blackness and womanhood through textile-based portraiture. Working through the lens of Black feminist thought, I have investigated restorative modes of resistance and constructed a supportive framework by which to utilise them. This work is an inquiry into the portrait as a tool of resistance and is motivated by the desire to represent Black women in a way that is nuanced, multilayered and honest.
