Produced for Reckoning, a portfolio exchange organized by Sheridyn Villarreal: The transition from what was an immeasurably tragic year into another offers the promise to begin anew. Without active and deliberate retrospection, this passive consolation fails to account for a year of reckonings that have been incited on a scale of collective and individual necessity; the same convenient conviction that has falsely upheld that the failings, tragedies, and prejudices of the past also remain there. A reckoning in its simplest definition is a settling of accounts. When we attempt to reckon with the events of the past year, four years, or one’s own life, what events or experiences do we account for? This collection of work records the efforts of artists as they confront the collision of intimate, national, or global histories.
