PRINTS AND DRAWINGS FROM 'THE VOODOO CHILD' SERIES
Well, I stand up next to a mountain
Chop it down with the edge of my hand
Well, I pick up all the pieces and make an island
Might even raise just a little sand
'Cause I'm a voodoo child
Lord knows I'm a voodoo child
Chop it down with the edge of my hand
Well, I pick up all the pieces and make an island
Might even raise just a little sand
'Cause I'm a voodoo child
Lord knows I'm a voodoo child
Jimi Hendrix
The “Voodoo Child” series is an extended self-portrait of the artist as a peddler moving across historical and art-historical memory. Becoming an “inner tourist,” the artist reinvents the traditional peddler, not only from a women’s perspective, but from a more nuanced American diasporic identity.
