Wangechi Mutu’s Storm King sculptures imagined ecological kinship

THE STORY, IN BRIEF

In her October 2022 Hyperallergic review, Catherine Yang considered Wangechi Mutu’s Storm King exhibition through its connections between women, mythology and the natural world. Bronze baskets containing tortoise shells, snakes or braided hair extended the artist’s hybrid visual language outdoors. Yang read the intertwined figures of In Two Canoe, also a functioning fountain, as an image of partnership and imagined ecological coexistence rather than a retreat from contemporary crises.
