In Sterling-Wilson’s solo exhibition Home (Handle with Care), she explores the idea of “home” beyond a roof and four walls. Instead, she examines how any environment can provide a domicile feeling of home. Through her mixed-media collages, she contrasts the feelings of comfort and sustainability with the repercussions of destruction and/or invasion.
This exhibition visually articulates stunning scenes of the Black experience through layers of found imagery. Sterling-Wilson’s visceral fragmented compositions allow for her to express the complexities prevalent in the black culture and society. Home (Handle with Care) reveals the beauty in the mundane and confronts the challenges that Black America has faced in the past and in present day.
