At the center of Praise Fullerā€™s (@cvsreceipt) work is a practice that explores self-portraiture, archival imagery, and found materials. Drawn from Southern folklore and oral tradition, Fuller utilizes cyanotype to explore the constraints of family, the church, trauma, and the cultural realities of the South. For this Studio Store project, Fuller drew inspiration from historical imagery of Texas and the broader American South, and the Studio Museum in Harlemā€™s archives. Incorporating key moments in the Museumā€™s historyā€”including a scene from the Eleo Pomare Dance Troupe performance in 1972 and a 1969 image of the Museumā€™s second director, Edward Spriggsā€”Fuller invites viewers to reflect on individual and collective memory. Shop Fullerā€™s Studio Designer T-shirt, along with shirts from designers Tajah Ellis, Melinda Griffith, and Jasmine Plantin in-store at Studio Store on 125th Street today!ā€Ø Images and videos courtesy Praise Fuller. taken in Studio Museum in Harlem by @cvsreceipt

The Weight of Wholeness Is No Trifling Matter 2026 Cyanotype on silk, canvas, ceramic, glass candle holders; cyanotype solution in holy water vessel; cyanotype on book cover; found table; synthetic braiding hair; wax, water, salt, branches (long post im so sorry but also deal with it) ā€œAre you sure, sweetheart, that you want to be well?ā€¦ Just soā€™s youā€™re sure, sweetheart, and ready to be healed, cause wholeness is no trifling matter. A lot of weight when youā€™re well.ā€ In my journey to be a more understanding individual, understanding of myself and understanding of the world around me, I found Salt Eaters by Toni Cade Bambara. This book challenges the structure of linear storytelling through shifts in timeline and perspective to show that achieving wholeness is by no means a linear process, and when we neglect ourselves the opportunity to embrace this process, our community notices. I compare digesting this book to laying on the ground hearing a lengthy jazz improvisation track with occasional shouts or prose in the left or right headphone. Through ancestral healing, community organizing, art, music, epiphanies, and symphonies of weathered stories, this piece came to be. One figure is trying to save the other, her fractured self, from a life ending decision so they can rest in front of an altar of salt and become whole. Itā€™s not meant to be a self portrait, but I believe it shows my dedication to trying to become the best version of myself, and realizing she may not be the happiest. But life isnā€™t about being as happy as I can be, that's not being "whole". Recognizing what the brain thinks is safe, isnā€™t always whatā€™s the safest. Learning to embrace an unfamiliar heaven over a familiar hell helps me stay true to my values and live earnestly and wholly. Through this, learning, devotion, creation and love are my priorities. And I hope to engage with those with all of you as we go through cycles of saving ourselves and each other. ā€œYou never really know a person until you've eaten salt togetherā€.Ā  Salt is known to have healing properties. With that, you never know a person until you've healed together. til 4/5 at Isolde pics: @leib.jonathan by @cvsreceipt

itā€™s my first big girl group showā€¦.yall knew a long ig caption was coming Idk, sometimes thereā€™s so much emotion that swells up in this heart of mine, I spend more time trying to contain it than I do expressing it. But Iā€™m sentimental and have a deep love for and devotion to people. As an only child growing up in the South in a very sheltered home, I felt like I was hidden from people for so long and now all I want to do is understand and make people feel seen and understood. And because of that, I am overwhelmed, humbled, and gracious to have felt so seen last night. What I was able to create with my hands to share and be interpreted openly couldnā€™t have been done without the upmost support from everyone in my life. My achievements are not mine alone and I think thatā€™s why I feel so overwhelmed. I donā€™t want to diminish my personal development of practice and hand in getting where I am today, Iā€™m well aware of my capabilities and capacities. I just think it serves the purpose of the work and the show to emphasize that the concept and creation of these pieces were from seen, unseen ā€” direct and indirect labor and love. I think thatā€™s what creates faith anyway. Ty @geraldlovell & @ppowgallery for allowing me to be in this group show with artists I cherish and respect so so so deeply also shoutout @jacquardproducts weā€™ve been locked in for almost 10 years now (excerpt from studio journal while making the work in carousel) by @cvsreceipt

my reflections of my year will remain personal but Iā€™ve flown this silk cyanotype from a piece earlier this year as a white flag, surrendering to the message the version of me that created the original installation was trying to uphold. Iā€™m scared and sensitive and wanna be Well. by @cvsreceipt

the love I have for dave is a rare one, heā€™s someone I have to reference when I meet people in order for them to know me a bit more. His heart and writing are a blessing and Iā€™m blown away by his book with the final title after many iterations ā€œGulf of Americaā€ lol. I loved watching you read and sing Waylon. I love watching you exist. Thanks for letting me be a baddie on the cover alongside Rosa and being part of the shoot with many others that mean so much to us. Thanks for letting me read my poem (slides 4-6) at your launch about learning the color blue in a new context: a series of mini heartbreaks from men with dirty fingers. everyone I love inspires me so much. @smokermanwithavan / @better_read_than_dead_bk by @cvsreceipt
