The Robineau Gallery at The Everson Museum of Art, adorned with ceramic and mixed-media sculptures, tells the story of Sana Musasama’s artistic journey through a personal and global history of art/architecture and toys.
This is the fourth time I’ve viewed an African-heritage artist use dolls to commemorate their artistic journey. I am feeling inspired to incorporate the idea in my own work. I have already gone the houses route.
These six-inch slab dolls are so unique. I love the way the legs are connected separately. The beads are attached with pipe cleaners. If the dolls didn’t have boobs, they would make a great sample/inspiration for a second grade clay project.
Sana Musasama: Returning to Ourselves will be on display February 3 – April 28, 2024.
These are very fun to look at!!
Yes! They are hanging on the far wall of the Robineau gallery. The other two walls contain reversible dolls that move via a motion detector. There are also slab sculptures of abstract houses on platforms scattered throughout the space.
Wow
I love them they are so creative
They are cute little things!
