99% NO.63 DeActress 2013

Editor: Sedrick Huckaby's drawing, "99% NO.63 DeActress," has a very personal feel. It's a simple portrait, but the lines above the head are a bit perplexing. How do you interpret this work? Curator: The lines feel symbolic, perhaps representing a spiritual connection or aspiration. Huckaby often infuses his work with narratives rooted in memory and community. Notice the handwritten text; it is a declaration of intent. Editor: Yes, I see the text, it makes reference to a comic book. But is the portrait related to the text? Curator: Indeed, they are inseparable! The subject carries the symbolic weight of the artist's intention to immortalize loved ones through art. The text enriches the image's cultural memory and personal story. Editor: That makes so much more sense now. It's not just a portrait, but a promise, a memory being kept alive. Curator: Precisely! The image, combined with the text, transforms into a powerful monument to family and artistic vision.
