Wangechi Mutu (Kenyan, b. 1972).

150 knots per inch.

Wangechi Mutu’s work deals with the very idea of human representation; how we perceive and reproduce images of what we think we are, how we view others and create images of what we think of them. In her ongoing conversations with figuration, what Mutu’s work looks at are value systems in art and beyond, that either obscure or elevate our image and reflections.
