Carrie Mae Weems finds strength in solitude in a photograph from her iconic Kitchen Table Series. 

In 1990, Carrie Mae Weems took 20 black-and-white images at her kitchen table, a traditionally female space that has not been celebrated enough in art. The overhead bulb sets the stage in each photograph, where a host of intimate domestic scenes and social dynamics unfold.

Untitled (Woman & Phone) sees the artist sit alone at the table, with a phone just out of reach. In an accompanying monologue from the original installation, she writes: "In and of itself, being alone again naturally wasn't a problem. But some time had passed. At 38 she was beginning to feel the fullness of her woman self."

Reminding us that vulnerability is strength, this limited edition print embodies Carrie's radical legacy of empowerment and liberation.

There was something very important about using my own skin and body to work through these difficult issues around notions of family, monogamy, relationships, blackness, and how it could all be negotiated within a political and social context.
