Chakaia Booker

Sculptor Chakaia Booker fuses ecological concerns with explorations of racial and economic differences, globalization, and gender by recycling discarded tires into complex assemblages.
A medium skin-toned adult woman smiles with only her face visible from underneath an elaborate headwrap of nearly a dozen different colorfully printed fabrics. The wrap is piled like a turbin atop her head with fabric cascading down to surround her face.
