Lifted is a celebration of the freedom and joy of black girlhood, capturing the uplifting magic each little girl holds within. This work on Stonehenge paper uses Mixed Media collage, a testament to Lavett Ballard's dedication to visually narrating the African Diaspora, specifically the female gender. I consider this artwork as part of my "Wood Adjacent" collection, a limited body of work within my practice. Through Lifted, experience the vibrant essence and boundless spirit of black girlhood lovingly portrayed in this unique piece. Embrace the beauty and inspiration that Lifted brings into any space.
