Knowles is a mixed media artist who explores ideas of gender identity, cultural preservation/ production, and social relations within the black community. Knowles’ graphite drawings on paper center portraits of men of the African diaspora, specifically black Bahamian men. In these delicate renderings, Knowles is expanding, with intention, the portrayal of black men creating room for the fluidity of the masculine and the feminine while counteracting stereotypes.
