Karice Mitchell is a photo-based installation artist whose practice uses archives of Black erotic publications and digital manipulation to explore the representation of the Black female body in popular culture and pornography. Through scanning, enlarging and cropping, Mitchell creates works that hover between explicitness and illegibility. By re-contextualizing existing imagery, she reframes Black womanhood and sexuality beyond the constraints of the white gaze, patriarchy and historical constructs.
