How a mixed-media artist finds vibration in a quiet masterpiece
In short: In this episode of The Artist Project, Nigerian-American artist Njideka Akunyili Crosby examines Georges Seurat's "Embroidery; The Artist's Mother" from The Met's collection to explore the tension between stillness and energy.
Born in 1983, Njideka Akunyili Crosby utilizes a sophisticated blend of collage, drawing, and painting on paper. In her response to Seurat's work, she describes the experience of viewing the piece as something that feels both silent and vibrating simultaneously.
