Betye Saar: uneasy dancer
Abstract
"Uneasy Dancer is an expression Betye Saar has used to define both herself and her artistic practice. In her own words, 'my work moves in a creative spiral with the concepts of passage, crossroads, death and rebirth, along with the underlying elements of race and gender.' This process implies 'a stream of consciousness' that explores the ritualized mysticism present in recovering personal stories and iconographies from everyday objects and images. Several key elements lie at the center of her artistic practice: an interest in the metaphysical, the representation of feminine memory, and African-American identity which, in her work, takes on evocative and unusual forms"--Provided by publisher.
