"The possible has been tried and failed. Now it's time to try the impossible." - Sun Ra
A beautiful book that deserves to be reissued and reprinted. Any presses who are up for it, I would jump at the opportunity to have the conversation about getting this important artist's visual culture into more hands.
A collection of visual culture in opposition and resistance to the ways that European white beauty standards have influenced the human gaze and drastically altered human life as we know it. A taking back of authority and grace by being a photographer who provides the contents of the photos with Black agency and African American identity. Bill Gaskins is a name that belongs to be uttered alongside Gordon Parks with far more regularity.
