NOTES:
Created during Shantell Martin’s landmark first-ever visual artist residency at Manhattan’s 92nd Street Y in Fall 2018—an initiative highlighted as a three-month deep dive into her line-led practice—Fall 92Y – Front Cover (2018) distills that moment into a single, evocative image. With her signature continuous black line, Martin intertwines faces, figures, an “NY” airplane, and the text “92Y FALL 2018,” crafting a dreamlike visual map that charts memory, place, and identity. The layered profiles and urban motifs evoke both multiplicity and connection, transforming a cover into a canvas where spontaneity meets institutional presence—an emblem of artistic emergence grounded in space and time.
