“Kiki Smith feels like such a necessary artist at this moment. Coming into her own creatively in New York City during the AIDS epidemic, her work encompasses the personal and the bodily, and the collective and the social. The strikingly proportioned figure in Annunciation feels alone in a personal, spiritual moment. The work seems to contain so many stories, and as Kiki recently told me, ‘I am just trying to make something that feels like what I know inside.’" Posted by Catherine MorrisKiki Smith (American, born Germany, 1954).
