Publisher Note
Liz Johnson Artur is committed to consistently photographing black people globally, and noticing the diverse aesthetics in these communities. Johnson Artur's work focuses on themes of self-presentation and issues of representation. The photographs are taken in public spaces .
I Will Keep You in Good Company brings together pages and fragments from over twenty of her personal workbooks – handmade volumes she has kept since the early 1990s. Part diary, part experimental playground, these books are where she shaped her photographic language through layering, cutting, annotating, and assembling: a space for processing not only images, but life itself. For the artist,
photographs are often not the end product but the starting point. Countless techniques and materials surface throughout: collage, tape, rips, paint, stitches, staples, Polaroids, negatives, graph paper, texts.
