Carrie mae Weems:

I chose to learn about Carrie Mae Weems because she has a strong message behind her work.  I found her by looking at the recent installations at the Guggenheim Museum.  Her work is not only beautiful and interesting to look at but it also explores the touchy subjects of feminism and race.  I learned that she enjoys looking deeper into history and revealing ideas that are often ignored or blurred over in today’s society.
