Title A name given to the resource "54 Massachusetts, Unique Variation III" Description An account of the resource Rushern Baker IV is a Baltimore-based painter and teacher. Baker received his and his MFA in painting and printmaking from Yale University. He has exhibited in group and solo shows at galleries across the world. Baker’s abstract pieces billow with themes of military destruction, dense architectural elements, and tumbling dilapidated ruins of the Greco-Roman world. Fragments of Civil War soldiers, flags, and conflict mingle in an atmospheric array of colors and shapes to create objective narratives about war, history, and culture. 54th Massachusetts, Unique Variation III, and 54th Massachusetts, Unique Variation VI are part of a series that reflects on the nation's current political unrest, Manchurian politics, and the resurgence of racism seen in this country and around the world. Inspired by an 1890 painting of the 54th Massachusetts, the first African American infantry regiment, Baker's 54th Massachusetts prints symbolize the struggle for equality Black Americans are still calling for today. Using graphic figuration and Civil War historical motifs to focus on the black people that were making the sacrifices of bringing about true democracy in America, Baker’s paintings take strong objective perspectives on our current political climate through abstract visual devices.

Title A name given to the resource "Under My Skin #1" Description An account of the resource Kei Ito is a Baltimore-based conceptual photographer and installation artist. He graduated from the Maryland Institute College of Art with an MFA in Photography. Ito has exhibited nationally in solo and group exhibitions. Ito’s unique approach to photography does not include a camera. Instead, he exposes light sensitive materials to sunlight to create an x-ray like print that recalls a history of nuclear tragedy in Hiroshima. Specifically, Ito’s practice draws on his grandfather’s experience of the bombing of Hiroshima in 1945. He intertwines this past experience with his contemporary moment, expanding on the dialogue of nuclear matters in today’s politics. Ito remembers his grandfather telling him the day the bomb was dropped “...was like hundreds of suns lighting up the sky.” Those words pervade Ito’s body of work, and he often uses the sun in his work as both a symbol of the bombing and a natural photographic medium. Ito’s newer works including Under My Skin #1 use honey and oil to create microscopic patterns reminiscent of cancer cells, a reference to the unseen illness that hid under the skin of atomic bomb survivors. This creates a powerful abstract representation of the physical effects of nuclear warfare. Ito details how the scarcity of basic medicine after the bomb left survivors to treat their burns with oils and honey they found lying around, which are used in the photographic process. The Under My Skin series represents a shift in Ito’s work from the sun exposed C-print photograms to the more physical and gestural use of natural materials to create an almost painterly print.

Title A name given to the resource "Cariño" Description An account of the resource Edgar Reyes is a Baltimore and Washington D.C based multimedia artist. He received his MFA from Maryland Institute College of Art and continued his practice locally while teaching at non-profit organizations and schools. He has centered his practice around his journey through exploring his Mexican American immigrant identity by way of compassion and understanding. His personal experiences serve as means of breaking down cycles of inherited trauma during the search for truth and healing. His recent works utilize images of Reyes’ own family members as he develops a personal yet universal narrative of lives shaped by displacement, migration, and discovery. Cariño is a digital collage printed on chiffon, most notably featuring a Polaroid photo of a young Reyes and his mother. The handwritten caption below dedicates the photo to his grandmother. The technicolor clouds and modular elements that surround the image address the relationship between memory and place while paying homage to family history.
