Notas : “There are almost always figures in my work, and they all gravitate towards being quite ‘female-ish.’ Again, often they have a slightly deformed or skewed quality, like I believe every single one of us does. In my mind, there’s always a disjuncture between who they are and what we see them as, as well as what they think they appear to be. I believe our bodies are only a single part of the many dimensions of our identity and, in some ways, the body becomes a trap in the understanding of the whole. We can invent, transform, re-imagine ourselves through manipulating our outer appearance and, thus, ‘conquer’ adversity through our physicality; or we can become subjugated … often there may not be a choice.” (Wangechi Mutu, in David Moos, ed., Wangechi Mutu: This You Call Civilization?, Toronto: Art Gallery of Ontario, 2010)
