Wangechi Mutu: "I'm interested in how the eye can trick you"

'Wangechi Mutu finds it pleasing to hear that her video piece, “The End of Eating Everything”, made viewers’ skin crawl with its haunting and evocative creepiness. It means her optical trickery is working. The Kenyan artist, now based in New York City, constructs rich mythical mash-ups of beauty and the grotesque that tease and taunt the eye." -- +Design Indaba
