artist: wangechi mutu

the other day while flipping through a book of artists at barnes and noble i came across a new name. trained as a sculptor and anthropologist, artist Wangechi Mutu gives a new take on mixed media by creating collages questioning the idea of female anatomy, human malignant conditions, and african culture. born in 1972 in Kenya, ms. mutu studied at the yale university of school of art sculpture and the notable cooper union for the advancement of the art and sciences in new york city.

Mutu uses medical diagrams and ripped magazine photos establishing striking and thoughtful images as these here.
