“How do we know what is real? In the midst of career-marking solo exhibitions at Pioneer Works in Brooklyn and the Fabric Workshop and Museum in Philadelphia, artist Jacolby Satterwhite contemplates some of the most fundamental questions around the relationship between an artist and the works they create. Referencing both a long running fascination with Renaissance painter Caravaggio's The Incredulity of Saint Thomas and his own traumatic experience of surviving childhood cancer, Satterwhite muses that ‘maybe I've been skeptical of mortality my whole life and I've been making things to make myself witness these objects and say I'm still here.’.”_ART21
