Video 2 [Artist Talk Series] "The Wait We Carry" | Inspiration & Influences
Hey ya’ll, it’s Clifton Henri, nationally-recognized, award-winning fine art photographer.
For the record…I’m reluctantly sticking with the line above until it soaks in and I become comfortable actually leaning into speaking about my accomplishments.
Today is Video 2 & Day 2 of this 10-Day video series.
Let’s get into the Inspiration behind the title piece, “The Wait We Carry”.
It’s 2020 - THE WORLD IS ON FIRE…
And I’m a soon to be new husband and new father…
Bringing a Black child into this world…
Charged to protect and provide for my family…
While I’m watching another story and another story of another Black man getting murdered in broad daylight by police officers…
“The Wait We Carry” series was born of and born in my inspiration to find my voice through my art, in the midst of that pain and unrest.
