Nyeema Morgan, Like It Is: Extraordinary People, 2021
Graphite pencil on Coventry rag paper
50 × 38 inches

For her series “Like It Is,” Nyeema Morgan begins by pulling texts with the word “extraordinary” in their titles and Xeroxing their cover pages in various positions; she then translates these Xeroxes into large graphite drawings that incorporate incidental traces of the studio environment. The resulting drawings are a tour de force meditation on the use and abuse of categories and sets, of the arbitrary violence of delineating the ordinary from the extraordinary.
