DONNA BASSIN
archival pigment print, gold embroidery thread, gold rice paper, Moab Entrada Rag Natural 300, Epson Ultrachrome K3 inks
22H x 16W in (55.9 x 40.6 cm)
edition 1/8
A photographic series of black-and-white portrait collaborations that center women’s presence and the bonds they build to survive what is difficult to bear. In the years following the 2016 election and deepening through the isolations of the pandemic, I invited women and gender-marginalized sitters who, through race, sexuality, gender identity, age, ethnicity, or disability, felt pushed to the edges of public life to co-create images that refuse erasure. They are about the shared labor of witness and repair — women’s capacity to remain visible, to hold one another in complexity, and to keep going.
