Chakia Booker @ deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum

Enormous, bio-morphic, monstrous, articulate, rubbery, aggressive, beautiful!  Booker's large scale sculptures fabricated from truck and car tires form a thought provoking forest of harrowing and dynamic creatures. Densely packed with interwoven strips and segments of petroleum by-product they stare back at us and tower over us perhaps reflecting something in our collective love affair with vehicles,  waste, organic sensuality and our over consumptive industrial lifestyle. Beautiful and organic they give a strange connection between the natural and the man-made.  Booker's work is also directly reflective of African textile art and garments providing a dialogue about history, tradition, African American cultural dynamics in our industrialized western culture. Chakia Booker's "In and Out" On view, May 15th through August 29th 2010 at deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, Lincoln MA....
