Gabrielle Watson
Crown Heights
Artist Statement
My work started out as a visual diary documenting very real, very personal, everyday moments in my life. It was a meditation on the people most important to me and the struggles I underwent in our respective relationships. As I grow as an artist and as an individual, the focus of my work is expanding to encompass not just my own moments, but the greater non-political black experience.
