MamaRay by Wangechi Mutu
”My work is to understand how we can all co-exist on this planet. So when I'm creating I find tranquility with my surroundings and within myself.” — Artist Wangechi Mutu
A monumental bronze sculpture by Wangechi Mutu has arrived! MamaRay is part human, part manta ray and part supernatural creature.
