“In 18th- and early 19th-century Michigan, enslaved Black people were forced to transport furs under European rule. This painting reflects on notions of upward mobility and aspirational fashion in American history. By inserting my own body into the labor of the fur trade, I claim the right to wear the very fur I would have once been made to carry.”
- Mario Moore
