A Reflection of You (Hand-finished)
British artist Shannon Bono draws on scientific foundations to inform compelling tributes to Black womanhood, defying colonial histories at every turn.
A Reflection of You is an edition of 20 archival pigment prints on 300gsm cotton fine art paper.
The process of creating the edition saw Bono collaborate closely with a print studio in London to reimagine a pre-existing painting, layering the original green palette with luxurious gold tones. Furthermore, the work’s surface is hand-finished by the artist with a series of details in 3D pearlescent cream — making every print unique.
The reverse of each print is signed, dated and numbered.
WE ARE HISTORY
The edition is one of three included in a debut curated launch from Aindrea Emelife.
“Shannon Bono centres her practice on projecting Black women's lived experiences, creating layer upon layer of symbolism and meaning in figurative compositions that demand rumination and contemplation.” - Aindrea Emelife
