Work
Work
Brown's work is inspired by Deana Lawson, Carrie Mae Weems, and Lorna Simpson. Their work started with a focus on self portraiture to examine the complexities of gender and identity. Brown's work speaks to the black queer body by using the intimacy of portraiture as a means to question preconceived notions of maleness and blackness. Brown has been commissioned by media outlets and fashion designers, including New York Magazine, Gayletter Magazine, The New Yorker, Vice, Teen Vogue, Dazed, W Magazine, and Telfar Clemens. Their work has been featured by W Magazine, Vice, and The Fader. In 2017, Brown co-curated the seventh annual "Zine and Self-Published Photo Book Fair" with Devin N. Morris, titled Rock Paper Scissors and a Three-Armed Shovel.
