Kara Walker

I am supposed to be collecting images of book covers relevant to the one I made as part of my live brief, but as usual I am ignoring pressing tasks in favour of idle googling* and link-skipping.

...Kara Walker unveiled a daring reinvention of image-making in which she incorporated the genteel eighteenth-century medium of cut-paper silhouettes into her paintings. Since that time, she has created a poignant body of works that addresses the very heart of human experience, notions of racial supremacy, and historical accuracy. This exhibition presents a comprehensive grouping of the artist’s work to date, featuring more than 200 paintings, drawings, collages, shadow-puppetry, light projections, and video animations that offer an extended contemplation on the nature of figurative representation and narrative in contemporary art.

*Does this require a capital letter now it practically a standard verb? It isn't customary to do that when writing 'quixotic' after all.



Reflecting on today's blogging spree: I always seem to blog the most at the start of the week. This is when I am granted time free of my dreary part-time job, so is in turn when I become re-inspired. This routine clearly needs to be shaken up.
