We are excited to share a new series of sculptures by one of DCA's 2021 Cultural Trailblazers, Duane Paul. In these works, the artist uses repurposed denim, which the artist patches, sews, and mends, along with wood, paints, and pigments, to construct an abstract body that melds memories, cultural artifacts, and oral histories together.

The artist marks these surfaces with what he calls "tribal scarification," representative of ancestral histories and experiences. Through these layers of materials and treatments, Paul looks at the Black body, and what, as a Black gay man, can be absorbed and endured; what negotiations are necessary and possible.
