OCHI presents She who sits, paintings by Brooklyn-based artist Adrienne Elise Tarver. The works center on Vera Otis, an invented figure Tarver has shaped over a decade from found photographs and mid-century Black actresses like Dorothy Dandridge and Lena Horne. Seated, unhurried, never performing, Otis makes rest a claim on presence—portraiture and myth-making drawn from layered personal archives.
