Howardena Pindell ‘Autumn’ (2024)🍁🍂
Howardena repeatedly returns to the circle motif throughout her work. She connects her impulse to create compositions with small circles to a formative memory in her childhood during the Jim Crow era.
‘The circle came from an experience when I was a child during segregation […] we got chilled root beer in a glass, but at the bottom of our glasses was a red circle. And that meant that it was for Black people. […] And that's when the circle really hit me, when that became something I wanted to undo.’ – Howardena Pindell.
📍‘Howardena Pindell: Off the Grid’ is on view at White Cube Bermondsey until 18 January 2026.
