Durham-based American artist Stacy Lynn Waddell, born in Washington, DC in 1966, creates images by literally burning them into paper, then pairing the scorched surface with reflective metal leaf. In this self-portrait, she uses a branding or wood-burning tool to create her own likeness on the sheet, evoking the histories of scarification, labor, and racialized marking on Black bodies while also claiming her image with exquisite care. She depicts herself as a Black woman seen from the chest up, turned slightly to meet our gaze head-on. Her close-cropped hair and smooth scalp rise into the upper edge of the paper, rendered as dense, looping burn marks that ripple like fingerprints across her skin. Dark, carefully scorched lines form arched brows, heavy-lidded eyes, and a soft, knowing almost-smile. Her face and neck are modeled with layered, swirling strokes that suggest both tenderness and strength. A simple necklace and angular earrings rest against a broad shoulder, while the silver, metallic background catches light, framing her head like a luminous, modern halo. The silver leaf behind her suggests both a mirror and a precious metal, linking everyday self-regard to art history’s long tradition of gilded icons and portraiture. Acquired by the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University as part of its initiative to build a contemporary collection centered on artists historically underrepresented in major museums, the portrait has appeared in exhibitions such as “People Get Ready” and the virtual show “Graphic Pull.” Made more than a decade into her professional practice, the work marks a moment of artistic arrival as Waddell presents herself as steady, unflinching, and fully present within the museum space. Her innovative use of nontraditional materials has become central to contemporary conversations about Black feminist representation, the American South, and who is invited to see themselves reflected in art institutions.
