« I combine my love of photography, art, and graphic design to create works that speak to the viewer by communicating something specific and obvious, harboring subtexts that require repeated viewing or discussion. »
Dave McClinton's works illustrate 'the life-cycle of the inner life of a black person'. He delves into the weight of American history, which can 'either crush or harden'. McClinton wants to give voice to the strength and trials of the African-American community, visually contributing to this collective identity. His creative process began by compiling family photos and found images. These portraits are printed with archival pigments on 100% cotton paper.
