I really enjoyed kara walkers work. The cutting out of the potraits of actual people had a lot of meaning to it. Not only was it art but the art had a distinct meaning to it. She was telling a story through her art which made it that much more interesting. There were several examples of the civil war south with slavery and it didnt give colors to people everything was in just black and white. I just found her work very detailed but at the same time very simple. The peoples edges were cut in great detail but the overall person does not contain eyes and the shading you would see in a normal person, therefore making everyone look the same.
