D’Angelo Christian<\/h6>\n

D’Angelo Christian\u2019s collage and photographs depict <\/span>home<\/span><\/i>\u2014home created with family and constructed despite distance. In <\/span>Home, Long Beach, CA<\/span><\/i>, Christian collages photographs taken in and around his family home. An image of the artist\u2019s shadow unmistakably resembles the silhouette of his brother who has been incarcerated since he was a teenager. Writing on this collage in an essay for the exhibition catalog, curator Matthew Villar Miranda explains that \u201cChristian insists there are three entities: two sons and a mother. Though not explicitly imaged, [the artist] clarifies, \u2018The mother is the light.\u2019\u201d Miranda observes that the photos in this series \u201creflect an alchemical light that transmutes the surface of synthetic tarps into golden lam\u00e9; envelopes a weary brother in a warm magenta halo; traces the electric blue lines on a grandma\u2019s bible… the photographs depict light-as-body, an energy through a windowed threshold that renders two forcibly separated brothers visible and near. Christian writes freely of love, thinks of family often, and gives light to the dreams that windows and walls cannot contain.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
