Rendered in UV ink on handmade kozo paper with chine collé, this 2020 work by Kenturah Davis belongs to a suite that sits at the intersection of portraiture, language, and material sensitivity. Davis uses text not as caption or commentary but as the very substance of image-making, allowing letterforms to accumulate into the contours of a face, a figure, or a presence, so that meaning emerges through looking and reading simultaneously. The result is a work that rewards sustained attention, shifting between legibility and abstraction depending on how closely the viewer approaches the surface. The choice of kozo paper is far from incidental. This lightweight, fibrous Japanese paper carries its own history of careful craft, and paired with the precision of UV printing and the tactile layering of chine collé, the work achieves a physical delicacy that counterbalances its conceptual density. Davis, who divides her practice between Los Angeles, New Haven, and Accra, has developed a visual language concerned with how identity is constructed through the words we use to name and describe ourselves. That inquiry feels especially charged here, where the body and language become inseparable.
