notes: label: Caption
content: Shoes recently kicked off, toys on the stairs, and a purse dangling from a newel post are all offered by Bright as traces of the Black domestic interior in The Suburbia Portfolio. With figures just out of frame or carefully obscured, these scenes maintain privacy for residents but also create an atmosphere of familiar intimacy and downtime.
label: Description
content: A color photograph of an entryway to a home. At center is the home's central staircase with wood banisters. Hanging from the newel post at the foot of the stairs is a small hot pink purse with a gold chain handle, and sitting on the hardwood floor in front of the staircase is a pair of hot pink high-heeled shoes with thin straps. At proper right, next to the staircase, is a large vase with tall grasses inside. Behind the entryway is a carpeted room with a large framed picture leaning against the wall of a young woman in a blue skirt.
