Wingate Studio is pleased to announce mennen m lakay, a new five-plate aquatint etching with sugarlift and spit bite, our first collaboration with Philadelphia-based, Haitian-born painter and printmaker Didier William. The project’s imperative title in Haitian Creole translates to “take me home,” alluding to the artist’s ongoing interest in home as an emotional state that extends beyond a single location and instead draws on one’s geographical, cultural, and historical roots and experience; put otherwise, home can be defined in peripatetic terms as an accumulation of memories over time and across space. It is with this in mind that William invites the viewer to explore this chromatically rich journey to an aesthetically charged intersection of multiple worlds.
