Kara Walker – From black and white to living

We visited the Kara Walker show at Sprueth Magers. I found her work extremely inspiring, in the sense that it played with shadows and silhouettes. I have been trying to represent that through my work, using the idea of an image, or its ghost as a way of being.

I find this particular show of hers extremely inspiring in the sense that she takes the viewer from black and white to colour. I have found myself in a similar situation in my own practice, aiming to incorporate elements of colour in an otherwise very monochromatic palette.
