Skin Set Drawing: White People Are the Future
by William Pope.L

ARTIST STATEMENT

Skin Set is a drawing project I began in 1997. The impetus for the project was curiosity, despair and willfulness concerning how we understand racialized language and, ultimately, language itself. People who use racialized language, like all languages of bigotry, are very comfortable in the certainty that what is asserted about the world is unassailable because the truth claim is brutally fundamental. Brutality is necessary because the truth claim is, at bottom, uncertain and requires pain to shore it up. The language of bigotry is the language of lack. In the first blush of the project, I estimated 3,500 drawings, and that each would be created on graph paper 8.5" by 11". Well, so much for promises; the honeymoon has been over for some time.
