NOTES:

Created during Shantell Martin’s first-ever visual arts residency at Manhattan’s 92nd Street Y in Fall 2018, Fall 92Y – Inside (2018) is a work born directly from that residency. Executed in her signature continuous black line, the piece overlays faces, stick figures, trees, an “NY” airplane, and a lone sailboat across the paper—each motif gesturing to memory, place, and the spontaneity of her process. The inscription “92Y FALL 2018” anchors the work in its institutional and temporal context, transforming it into a visual ledger of Martin’s residency—where identity, community, and place are drawn together in a state of constant motion.
