Visual Poem 1 - "Sissy Dat Walk"
Moore, Maurice. “Sissy Dat Walk,” Ink on Paper, 19in x 24in, 2021.
Become! Bout 50-11 figures fill the center of the picture plane. Some be crouching, others duck walking and given dat femme realness. The lines are sketchy and rough through de mid sections of the figures. The line weight is thicc, but thin scribbly line flows throughout most of the figures connecting de ancestors to their descendants. This werk is done on tracing paper with the opaqueness coming through in the center. The top left corner of the paper is light with the bottom left & right plus the top right corner being darker. There are maybe seven hazy figures located in de center of de paper and spreading out.
