Deconstruction

Step 1

Kara Walker encourages us to look at things that are so visible in our society that we wish more invisible, such as slavery, immigration, migration, and black people.

 

Step 2

Sketching

She then used a black sphinx as a main model to represent the stereotype of black women,  and sketched it.

Step 3

Building small models from different angles to illustrate.

Step 4

Cooperating with workers to fill sugar into the models, since she once said she likes “its temporality, that it’s here and then it’s gone.” Ms. Walker wanted this project to be temporary.

After putting different pieces into a large sculpture, they polished the edges, to make it much smoother.

Finally, they used white paint to color it, which she did it in purpose. She not only wanted to let it become more animated, but also made it contrast to the black women.

Step 5

Finalizing

Showing and explaining the concept behind this sculpture to the audience, which located in in Prospect Park in Brooklyn.
