Kara Walker's cut paper work exemplifies her signature technique of intricately silhouetted figures rendered in stark black against white, conjuring haunting narratives rooted in the history of American slavery and racial violence. The stark contrast of the medium mirrors the binary tensions of race, power, and gender that Walker unflinchingly explores throughout her practice. Her delicate yet razor-sharp cut forms seduce the viewer with their elegance while simultaneously confronting them with deeply unsettling imagery drawn from the antebellum South.
