Martin Puryear - His work definitely gives me a sense of Time. From the primitive tools he uses to his wooden work, it just immerses me into events of the past and present. His "Ladder for Booker T. Washington" caught my attention the most because it greatly depicts the notion of a progression towards something.
Kara Walker - I really enjoy seeing her work because each silhouette evoke special meanings. Some of her work look grotesque and over-exaggerated but they truly depict the sufferings and torturing of slaves. It's really interesting to see how paper cut outs could create or reference such tragic events.
Sally Mann - At first I thought it was strange how she'd take photos of the most unusual things like dog bones and her naked children. But as I watched through the clip, I now understand how she wants to capture the raw and genuine state of moment. The black and white photos, although seem plain, really show the intensity of what's going on in that exact time/place. The photos of her young naked children are really unique too because they display a theme of innocence and freedom.
