Author: Weems, Carrie Mae
The 20 photographs and 14 text panels that make up Kitchen Table Series tell a story of one woman’s life, as conducted in the intimate setting of her kitchen. The kitchen frames her story, revealing to us her relationships – with lovers, children, friends – and her own sense of self, in her varying projections of strength, vulnerability, aloofness, tenderness and solitude. Kitchen Table Series seeks to reposition and re-imagine the possibility of women and the possibility of people of colour.As Weems describes it, this work of art depicts 'the battle around the family ... monogamy ... and between the sexes.' Weems herself is the protagonist of the series, though the woman she depicts is an archetype.
