MD: So, this is going to be a really hard question. If I had to ask you what piece most speaks to you, that you're most proud of -

KN: Oh, I already know that.

MD: You already know, alright! What would it be and why?

KN: Well, there are two pieces. The first piece is a piece I did last year, in February 2013, and it was part of a group exhibition. We had to go to the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, to [its] permanent collection, and choose a piece and respond to it [by] drawing in Black Canadian experience. So the piece I chose was Prudence Heward's At The Theatre, a painting of two women at the theatre. It was painted in the 1920s [or] 1930s, so in many ways that was literally a depiction of the modern women of her times. At first I was just really inspired by that - like, yeah, feminist artwork, that's awesome. And then I started doing more research, and I realized that the way she depicted white women was vastly different from the way she depicted Black women. So whereas she's setting these white women in theatres, the Black women are set in jungles, naked.
