Awilda Sterling-Duprey

For Burnaway’s series CRUSH, Michelle Santiago Cortés details the dance-drawings and improvisational mark-making of Awilda Sterling-Duprey. Throughout her decades-long career, Sterling-Duprey has paid close attention to how movement appears in painting and how dance lends itself to its own kind of painterly gesture. She has distilled elements of both disciplines to their constituent parts, which can be broken down into kinds of information: visual, spatial, tactile, sonic, and so on.
