About this work

This black-and-white print shows two pairs of legs walking away from each other on a dark, textured ground. The legs are slightly blurred, and the background is almost completely dark. The only light comes from a small, glowing object on the ground between them. The title *Cure/Heal* is written in red at the bottom, hinting at deeper meaning. The artist used a simple, stark style to focus attention on movement and mystery. If you like this, check out Lorna Simpson for more of her work.
