After creating my collage for this class, I was asking my professor, Matt Rebolz for some feedback. He ended up referring me to Wangechi Mutu due to her beautiful collages.
Wangechi Mutu, a beautiful Kenyan artist is born in Nairobi. She went to Great Britain and America for school. Later on in life she moved to New York to get a BFA at Cooper Union College in 1996. In 2000 she got her Master of fine arts at Yale University. She lives in New York and still works too.
She creates collages that revolve around femininity and sexuality, etc etc. Mutu uses mediums of “Mylar polyester film, acrylic paint, packing tape, glitter, and imagery from magazines.”
The reason she does these pieces is to show her experience and influence that differ from her African culture to American culture. There’s a different result of this through her collages and painting.
When looking at her work, she takes these pieces and remakes pieces that look like humans. They are a but spooky but the more you look at them the more beautiful it gets. There’s so much to look at.
