Sechs Consciousness
2010
Rashid Johnson's *Sechs Consciousness* brings together ceramic tiles, gold spray paint, shea butter, and a vinyl LP in its sleeve to create a richly layered meditation on Black identity and cultural memory. The materials speak to one another across registers — the domestic and the sacred, the everyday and the elevated — reflecting Johnson's ongoing exploration of the African diaspora experience. Gold spray paint and shea butter evoke both opulence and ancestral ritual, while the record introduces sound as an absent yet palpable presence within the composition.
