Kenyatta A.C. Hinkle. The Sower, 2015; India ink, acrylic paint, and polyfilm on wood panel; 11 x 14 in. Courtesy of Jenkins Johnson Gallery and the Artist.
Concerned with the ‘historical present,’ Hinkle’s research based practice is a collision of mediums. The exhibition will feature works from three projects that Hinkle has been working on concurrently for the past 6 years. Works on paper from The Uninvited Series, The Tituba Series, and artifacts from The Kentifrica Projectwill be in conversation with each other in the newly renovated Dignity Health Gallery and the Dr. Ernest Bates Gallery.
Hinkle’s work with West African colonial era photography, the story of Tituba the Black Witch of Salem and her interest in a contested geography named Kentifrica creates a dynamic push and pull between the past, present and future in which she oscillates between the real and the imagined, collapsing the two into an elusive space of time and being.
