In Sisters, two Black women stand alongside each other holding a bowl, a symbol of nurturing and giving. Set against a patterned background, the dots and designs interweave over and behind the figures. With both the decoration and the figures, Delita Martin nods to Black quilting traditions, borrowing facial features and geometric elements from a variety of sources to create a patchwork composition. The final product is not a portrait of specific people, but like all her work, an effort to reconstruct identities of Black women out of shared tradition and histories.
