About The Artwork

WHITE FLOWERS AND LIGHT ON BLACK BODY
It is a photographic series created with the intention of fostering an appreciation for the light contained within the black body. When the body is black, the absorption is clear: all the light that strikes its surface is absorbed. For a black body much larger than the wavelength, the light energy absorbed at any wavelength λ per unit of time is strictly proportional to the blackbody curve.

This work is inspired by the poem A Black Body for Black Love by Maelynn Ford.

Write all your love letters to me in black ink
I want to feel like you see me, my skin
The depth of my feeling for you
I have a black heart in a black body
I give new meaning to black heart
A black heart isn’t dead or cold; instead, it’s
Teeming with life and emotion, like the tongue of the ocean
Deep and dark, with all the love I have — all of it
I have a black heart in a black body
How full I am, bursting with love — love for you
With a world testing me, testing my resolve, my steadfast love
My black love IS love
I am reclaiming the wholeness of black
The intensity, its perfection for love — for my love
I have a black heart in a black body
How perfect this pairing
How lovely black ink is
For telling and retelling, and reclaiming love
And histories that have been tinted pink
And colored red like blood clots — NO
I have a black heart in a black body
This is the superior love I have, not whitewashed
Like church songs or bleached like romcoms
My love is black and true, truth like headlines in black ink
Declaring my love for you
I have a black heart in a black body
How wonderful
