The blacked-out colourway of the same sculpture. Same box, same arms held level, the yellow wire looping from the raised right hand down to the charges taped at the chest.

“After” is the old gallery word for a work made in open conversation with another. It is a lineage, not a shortcut.

Chronicles of 72

Jermaine Rogers in his own words, alongside research from the archive. Quoted material is reproduced verbatim, and every voice is labelled.

This place…these ancient woods that surround you: they belong to us. The trees that loom about you, silently granting you shelter and sustenance. The solitary, sun-spotted clearings where you filled the days of your youth with horseplay and dreaming. The cool streams snaking through this fertile landscape, where you quenched your thirst and bathed your body. It is ours - a sacred birthright. And it is worth any sacrifice.
8-inch vinyl figure willing to make the greatest sacrifice. Live suspiciously.
