Chakaia Booker


Some groups in Terre Haute got together to commission a permanent sculpture from New York artist, Chakaia Booker. Like most of her recent work, it is made from old tires - transformed into art. I think it's great.

I do like some of her looser things, but this piece shows more of her textile background/thinking. I also enjoyed hearing her talk about her work. And her wearable sculpture.____________________________________




Indianapolis recently had a temporary outdoor exhibit, MASS TRANSIT, of several of her pieces - displayed around town.
