This debut of the 29-year-old Bahamian-born artist aims to redefine
the often-politicized black body, with portraits made in a range of
textile-based techniques, such as embroidery and applique,
celebrating strong black women. Gio Swaby s intimate portraits are
unique, highly personal figurative works made from an array of
colourful fabrics and intricate, freehand lines of thread on canvas
that explore the intersections of blackness and womanhood.
Illustrated with 80 works in full colour that span from 2017 to
2021, this is the first book on this contemporary feminist artist
who is a rising star in the world of textiles and portraiture.
According to Swaby, I wanted to create a space where we could see
ourselves reflected in a moment of joy, celebrated without
expectations, without connected stereotypes. Writers and scholars
with multiple points of view take on Swaby s work and delve into
her place within contemporary black art.
