Kara Walker


I have a new favorite artist. Went to the Whitney yesterday - amazing gallery. Featured there was this artist named Kara Walker. She does mostly shadow etchings and pencil drawings that depict African-American women and their sexual, class, labour struggle during slavery - connecting it to contemporary images of African- America women.
Check out her exhibit at the Whitney, if you're in New York

Otherwise, her books are available on Amazon.
