Based on a collage by Angela Pilgrim, this variable edition employs both double exposure and split fountain techniques. Over the course of a few sessions, Pilgrim brought and exposed materials from her studio along with local soil, synthetic hair, and cheesecloth onto screens. These were printed onto and within colorblocks around a portrait of the artist.

Each print is unique due to multiple colors being printed at once in the blue-violet and yellow-orange layers (split fountain). Additionally, Pilgrim painted color onto the screen transferring painterly marks which trailed off and transformed successive prints. A final transparent metallic silver flattens and bridges the divide between photography and handmade.

Angela Pilgrim’s work explores Black subjectivity through the Black female gaze, using figurative representation to engage personal experience, cultural memory, and historical legacies. Through portraiture, printmaking, and mixed media, Pilgrim examines beauty, spirituality, power, and vulnerability within Black diasporic identities. Centering the Black female body as both subject and author, her practice explores the fluid and layered nature of Black presence, embracing hybridity and interiority.
