When I'm Feeling Jealous by Trace Moroney

The first monograph on William's acclaimed, lushly sensuous explorations of immigrant experience

Published on the occasion of the Haitian-born, Philadelphia-based artist's largest solo museum exhibition to date, Didier William: Nou Kite Tout Sa D y> presents an expansive view of William's (born 1983) career through the lens of race, immigration and personal and collective memory. Featuring more than 40 full-color images of William's monumental paintings, lush printmaking practice and a monumental sculpture commissioned for the exhibition, the book (whose title translates as we've left that all behind--an oft-cited phrase by Haitian immigrants to the US) blends a recontextualization of the art historical canon with an incisive look at Miami (where William was raised). With work spanning decades, this catalog builds on the foundation for an engaging emerging artist.
