What kind of expansion can a painting hold? Can it bring into our senses how encounters become scale and refusals textured? Becoming and being black is movement, state change, evolution, quanta, and distance.

Black distance is a form of knowledge indelibly tied to liquid. We know who we are as a discontinuous expansion of blue black. What are the spatial dependencies of curvilinear liberation? How does distance influence compositions made from an ocean rising?

The cantilever of black sensoria is the whole ethos: a mark, a line, an enclosure, an edge. Freedom is composing a painting with precarity that keeps blackness close, over, across and under the edge of being. —Torkwase Dyson
