Kara's shadows emerge from light
to nudge an outline of erasure
into a sharp white background.
( and now with colour). - Drenched Co
Comment: "I first saw Kara Walker's silhouettes in San Francisco in 2006 and I have never forgotten them. In Ms Walker's art I saw the struggle of many generations just to be 'seen'. I saw blood running through every shadow and I saw the holes in our sight. I saw that the before is not much different from the now and this pattern is set to outline a dark future. But then, I saw 'Norma' in colour." - JayZee
