Kara Walker's 'My Complement, My Enemy, My Oppressor, My Love'

(currently at the Whitney)

I've always been a fan of Kara Walker. Her work is an incredibly distilled and lyrical expression of the complex and charged issues (...memories, ghosts, demons, histories, violence, residual racism...) connected with African American identity in the US. Such courage! Such imagination! Such draftsmanship! ...Narrative, nonlinear and spatial.
