Southern Prize Spotlight: Stephanie J. Woods of North Carolina
Sorry, looks like no contributors are set
The concepts surrounding Stephanie J. Woods’s art are rooted in African-American culture, but the questions she raises are universal. Working in photography, sculpture, film, collage, and installation, the Charlotte-based artist asks us to consider how gender roles, racial signifiers, and beauty standards become social norms.
