99% NO.99 2013

Editor: This is Sedrick Huckaby's "99% NO.99", and it's really small, almost like a sketch. The charcoal gives it an intensity; it feels very raw and immediate. What stands out to you? Curator: I'm struck by the honesty, that rawness you mentioned. It feels like looking at a soul laid bare, doesn't it? Huckaby captures a vulnerability, a kind of beautiful imperfection. Think about the title, 99%...what's that missing 1%? Editor: Maybe it's the unattainable perfection we strive for? That constant pursuit? Curator: Precisely! Art isn't about flawless representation but about capturing the essence. It feels like Huckaby's inviting us to embrace our own beautiful imperfections. Editor: I never thought of it that way. I was so focused on the technique, I didn't really consider the emotional intent. Curator: That's the joy of art, isn't it? It's a constant conversation with ourselves and the world around us.
