My name is Tomashi Jackson. I'm a visual artist
With the piece Heiresses: The Central Park Plan made in 2019 as a part of a body of work titled Time Out of Mind, an image of Harriet Tubman is pinned at the bottom left, a portrait of Mary Joseph Lyons is pinned at the top left. Mary Joseph Lyons and her husband, Albro Lyons were black abolitionists in Antebellum, New York. Property ownership was a condition for suffrage. The Lyons family owned multiple properties in Seneca Village and lived elsewhere. Other transformed images include images of contemporary women of color in New York who were then experiencing the seizures of their fully paid for properties just as the people of Seneca Village had in their time.
