At first glance of the icon, Lanecia was drawn to the bold shape, the sleek black, the clear confidence the abstract woman exudes, as well as the energy of the star beside it. Many of the women she admires in her life and throughout history postured themselves in this boldness in order to turn their ideas and dreams—sometimes with limited resources—into a living reality. In addition to her normal creative process, she let boldness and breaking through barriers be her guide. The base of this piece is made from a discarded book cover, which symbolizes how having limited resources can lead to ingenuity.

Acrylic, paper, found images, and 23k gold leaf mounted on acid-free matboard in an 11” x 14” minimalist white wood frame.
