About this work

The artwork shows five small prints with layered images of female figures made from mixed materials. Parts look drawn, parts cut and pasted, with rich textures and dark tones. These etchings mix African and Western styles, using collage to question ideas about beauty and identity. Mutu builds each figure like a map of culture, myth, and memory. The prints are part of a limited set made with careful printmaking methods. You can see them at The Museum of Modern Art.
