In Xavier Scott Marshall's black-and-white imagery his family and friends play religious figures throughout colonial history
Briefly

"I was around eight, and by the time I got to high school, I started taking darkroom courses."
"All of Xavier's photographs are connected by a religious thread of 'decontextualized religious icons, saints, and martyrs across various cities in the United States and Europe that reflect the colonial history of image-making'."
"With inspirations such as the perception-shifting and explorative paintings of Kerry James Marshall, the identity, power and gender representations found in Carrie Mae Weems' photography, and the multimedia works of Lorna Simpson, he absorbs and exudes the Black experience from a uniquely surreal perspective."
