i really loved both, kiki smith, and kara walker. Both seemed to have this confidence about there work, and know why they do it. The meaning behind both artists work is very interesting. Kara has this internal and external struggle that she portrays with these cutouts, and to have such a "simple" medium convey such an enormous response is to me the main reason for being an artist. Kiki Smith on the other hand is great, one, because she says that it doesnt just take talent to become what she has become but hard work, from her self, and the many people she has on staff with her. She really concentraits on the feministic view of the world and old world myths and takes her art into that realm of untouchable, but really speaking to us directly. i loved both of them.
