I find the work of this artist to be completely fascinating to me. Kara walker was born in Stockholm California in 1969. At the young age of three she realised that she wanted to an artist just like her father. She graduated with a BFA and an MFA with a focus on print making and collage. Her works are potent, dealing a lot with race, sexuality, power and repression. I am attracted to her flawless use of multi media. And of course her cutouts. I would really like to take the cutout idea and use it more to my advantage in photography.
A couple of her own inspirations : Vincent Van Gogh and Andy Warhol.
