I overlay verses and demands onto photographs from different decades, allowing old language to act upon faces like a biological inheritance. Centuries change, but the tension remains intact: writing is never about adding something new, but about accepting that identity is built upon the traces of other voices.\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"658\" data-end=\"709\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"they-put-me-in-the-closet-because-they-liked-me-still-hester-finch","title":"They put me in the closet — because they liked me \"still\"","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eOn the asphalt of New York, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/quadragallery.com\/en\/collections\/hester-finch\" title=\"Explore the collection and Fine Art works by Hester Finch\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHester Finch\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e captures a visual insurrection.
