Description: Published on the occasion of her solo exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia, this catalogue of work by Wangechi Mutu covers one of the most acclaimed contemporary African artists. Although working in a variety of mediums, such as video, installation and sculpture, she is best known for her collages depicting hybrid creatures of machine, animal and human forms. Often female in aspect, these are constructed from magazine cut-outs, paint and found materials. Besides picturing a wide array of works, the book includes essays by Rachel Kent, Adrienne Edwards and Mbugua wa Kimani, plus an engaging conversation with Mutu by Dan Cameron.
