CARRIE MAE WEEMS
Carrie Mae Weems tells us the story of her life conveyed in the setting of her kitchen. This domain traditionally ruled by women reveals and important insight to the life and relationship she has with her family and her habitat. Weems expresses this art work as a depiction of the battle ground around the family and between sexes. Whats interesting to see is that Mae Weems openly reveals herself in the most plainest form possible.This is interesting to the viewers because it breaks the walls down to privacy and in essence creates vulnerability and solitude to the individual being viewed, yet somehow despite all these debilitating effect, It creates a mode of strength and confidence, a window to their souls if it were and the readiness to share a secret. This is all part of her collective theme, family, identity, sexism, class, power and cultural differences.
I love the way we are able to capture human life in their most natural state in an area exclusive to the rest of the world. What seems to be a common feature is the lack of communication and even the sense of isolation perhaps, a metaphor to a lack of common interest with the subjects or even a debilitating social relationship through the preoccupation of other self fulfillments.
