As Artists Stanley Greaves AA and Akima McPherson wrap up their Conversations on Art series, they discuss Dominique Hunter’s Tug O’ War Kinda Love, which was done in graphite on paper and completed in 2009.
Akima McPherson: As we close off these Conversations on Art, I am simultaneously pleased and dismayed that we do so with one of the National Collection’s few young artists (I know with certainty of two), and one of very few works acquired while the artist was at her early stage.
Dominique Hunter will turn 30 this year (and somewhere the figure of 35 caps the “youth” designation). Three of her drawings are part of the very small body of drawings within the Collection.
