Wangechi Mutu "A Shady Promise" 2006
Wangechi Mutu has a stunning new show up at Sikkema Jenkins & Co here in the city, up through June 17th. Unfortunately, screen shots do not do her work justice, as the pieces are gigantic, and the work is a mixed-media extravaganza of texture and form.

I have been deeply moved tonight! I encountered your article in Vogue..and feel a strange connection..as i use my magazines as a paint pallete..creating ..touched by similar "issues" as greed.sex..one of my works is SEVeN Deadly Sins.a disposable society,war and the all paralyzing issue of fear..we are living in a fearful society...
i have been touched by an angel to prod me in the direction of my inner voice and to hear that my echoe is your voice.Wangechi Mutu if you ever get this note ...thank you for your god given talent and for showing me the path of preserverence.love your work!you have inspired me!
