Arkansas black folk artist LeeNora Parlor explores the juncture of history and place from which identity is derived. Her work plumbs a world of deceptively simple, almost cryptic landscapes populated by characters with complex and powerful faces. Along the way she discovers “who I really am” in a place somewhere between memories and dreams.
This online gallery features works displayed at the Old State House Museum during 2007 as part of the exhibit A Piece of My Soul: Quilts by Black Arkansans by Black Arkansans, as well as numerous additional works.
