She uses her own histories, the small creatures around her, and her own feelings as infinite inspiration.      This piece from Mutu’s Storm King exhibition relies mainly on form and texture to convey its purpose to the audience. The form of the object is the most essential, as it combines a female body with that of an alligator, to bring attention to the power of women. The texture is important in combining the two creatures, as well as conveying that they have a shared energy. https://collections.stormking.org/Detail/occurrences/191        Many of Mutu’s works, such as this one, rely heavily on color. She uses prominently earthy tones with smaller accents of bright colors, mirroring the pallets found in nature. Her color use draws the viewer right back to nature. http://abloomzine.weebly.com/home/forging-a-visual-narrative-the

A Few Of My Favorite Things

Image
  My favorite things include: My record player. It was my favorite Christmas gift that was given to me by my boyfriend’s aunt, so it reminds me of friends and family. My record collection is small but building- I have my favorite Daniel Caesar album and some older records that I stole from my parents. My accessories. Though I don’t event wear them that often, my little star clips and hand-made beaded jewelry remind me of childhood and playfulness. These are some of the small things that bring me joy in my tiny, empty dorm room that connect me to the friends who I made them and purchased them with. My coffee. At one point, I tried to quit drinking caffeine, but I gave up because of how much more easily I can focus. It’s a small treat that I like to tell myself I deserve. The cup that I drink it out of was a hand-me-down from my grandmother who I miss so much.  My AirPods. Listening to all kinds of music is another tool I use to get school and art work done and also to focus in the gym.
