Derricotte\u2019s residency at Villa San Francisco took place in fall 2020 where she was the first artist selected for the program. While her latest art favors the use of glass and aluminum, she has also worked with paper as a medium. Derricotte believes in the power of language and the written word. In a 2020 article with Merci SF<\/u><\/a>, she remarked that she \u201clives under the tyranny of title\u201d which indicates her attention to the power of communication and messages delivered through her art.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Her homage to Harriet Tubman speaks directly to her interest in both contemporary and historical political art. As a Washington DC native, it is no surprise that Derricotte\u2019s art is deeply rooted in political awareness and movement. Much of her work, including Freedom\u2019s Threshold, speaks directly to the profoundness of one of the most well-known Ambassadors to France in the history of the United States, Thomas Jefferson.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

During the crux of the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020, Derricotte decided to make the most of her residency with Villa San Francisco to hone in on her journey for truth and transparency. Much of Derricotte\u2019s artwork has been inspired by her historical research on early American politics and society, as well as its relationship to France.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

When asked in an interview on how she became connected to France, Derricotte shared a heartfelt story of her youth. When she was a young girl, her family didn\u2019t have much money, but one day, her mother, who was known for being quite lucky and a good game player, had called in on a radio contest to win tickets to fly anywhere in the world. With some luck, her mother was the winning caller, and when the host of the radio show asked where she wanted to go, Derricotte\u2019s mother said, \u201cMy kid is talking French, so Paris.\u201d<\/u><\/a> Derricotte says the trip was a \u201cdream come true\u201d — ten days in Paris had \u201ccaptured teenage Cheryl\u2019s imagination and fueled her love for art.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
