Ta-Nehisi Coates talks Toni Morrison with artist Calida Rawles (ArtistCalida) for W's latest issue:
—a boy watching his mother being taken away, or a mother robbed of all her kids—were really powerful. Can you talk about how your own children have inspired or figured into your work? In order for the work not to be abstract, you think about real people. When I was writing about families being torn apart inI had to focus on how I would feel if this happened to me and my family. So it’s there in the work, even when it’s not said.
The newest piece that I’m doing shows this watery reflection that looks like a totem. It made me think about stacking and about how I’m stacked, how I’m made up of my ancestors. On my mother’s side I have two ancestors who were slaves, and I have this picture of when they were freed, and I keep looking at that. When I go back I imagine people never smile, but they are smiling in this picture., with one of her paintings on the cover.
