Unveiling is a conceptual monograph composed of past and recent artworks in relation to Fields' projects, As We Were, Audacity, Mirages of Dreams Past, and Constellations: Our Love Was Deeply Purple. These works are a pillar of Field's ongoing research on Black Queer Archives, identity, and representation through vernacular imagery.
