Interpretation.
This piece is part of Grant's body of work that she calls "random select." To create these works, she takes her own personal life experiences and blends them with historical moments and popular culture. This piece was inspired by the work of Bill Traylor. As a homage to him, Grant created the series, which this painting is a part of, titled "By the Skin of Our Teeth."
