ARTWORKS BY TROY MONTES-MICHIE
Rock of Eye, the latest book from artist Troy Montes-Michie, takes its name from a bespoke tailoring term that means to take the physical measurements of a person from observation. The folio centers mainly on the Black male body and the history of the zoot suit, its collages pulling together material from vintage erotic magazines, French tailoring manuals, sewing patterns, and other found photographs and print objects. The result feels quietly personal, layered with journalistic observations, but also smartly seductive, playfully rearranging formal elements to direct your attention, simultaneously enticing and resisting the viewer. Forthcoming on Siglio Press, the publication will accompany Montes-Michie’s solo exhibition at the California African American Museum set to open in February 2022.
