Crushed in Velvet
Crushed in Velvet reclaims the visual language of velvet portraiture through an intimate ceramic portrait of the artist’s wife. Drawing on the medium’s history of exoticism, kitsch, and cultural appropriation, Sorrel Stone challenges the stereotypes imposed on both velvet paintings and Latinx identity. Gold, flocking, and an ornate frame transform the subject into a figure of dignity, presence, and self-possession.
