For more than fourteen years Kara Walkerhas engaged directly with all the conflicts associated with racial difference, at the same time with extraordinary elegance involving the history of art such that the content of the works is further reinforced by the form. We encounter an oeuvre that fans out into a myriad of media and idioms, that makes demands on us and required us to take a stand. Her work offers no happy endings, although it often includes references to the big production of Hollywood. Instead it is an oeuvre that is insistently and urgently uncompromising with its humour and tireless ability to twist the knife where it really hurts.
