The first monograph on the work of celebrated and influential
Kenyan-American artist Wangechi Mutu
Wangechi Mutu's remarkable body of work touches on such issues as
sexuality, ecology, politics, and the rhythms and chaos that govern the
world. Her paintings, sculptures, and collages, often enriched with
culturally-charged materials including tea, synthetic hair, Kenyan soil,
feathers, and sand, interweave fact with fiction, generating a unique
form of myth-making that sets her apart from classical history or
popular culture. This is the first book to document her evolution and
explore her impact.
