Carrie Mae Weems

Carrie Mae Weems culminates her landmark Kitchen Table Series with an ode to motherhood.

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.

In Untitled (Woman Brushing Hair), the artist sits at the table with a mother-like figure while a quiet act of love plays out. In a text from the original installation, the artist writes: “Seeking clarity and purpose, she spoke about the problems with her momma.” 

A tribute to home, intimacy and community care, this limited edition print channels the power of women's work and collective memory.
