Back to the Begining

(Wangechi Mutu) (Louis Vuitton)

Tuesday welcomed the arrival of my second niece, Arianna Diamond Marie. While my sister was breathing through her contractions we watched the, 'The Color Purple' and I sang her the 'Miss Celia's Blues' song. It was just me, my mother, and my youngest sister. My song made the entire room break out in laughter. I mean it was completely over the top and wonderful all at once.

This is my second posting of a Wangechi Mutu piece. She is hands down my favorite artist. Mutu was born and Kenya and studied sculpture at Yale. Through the use of collage she explores cultural and gender identity. Learn more about the artist here
