Internationally renowned multidisciplinary artist Chakaia Booker is best known for pioneering the use of recycled rubber tires as a raw material for monumental sculptural works.

She chooses discarded tires to create beauty from detritus\, and elegance from industry in a way that both simply is\, and yet has strong underpinnings of social and environmental justice.

The work asks the viewers to take time to listen\, lean in\, contemplate\, heal\, work\, create\, and be. \nBooker’s signature style stems from a modular approach to building an artwork through layering regardless of media or scale. Primarily a sculptor\, Booker works with rubber\, bronze\, and ceramics alongside a dedicated practice in painting and printmaking. “At my core I am an inventor\, looking for new forms and movements to express my ideas\, methods to manipulate materials and processes\, and ways to connect with an ever-changing audience.” – Chakaia Booker \nTaking Time: A solo exhibition by Chakaia Booker is curated by Rachel Moore. \nThe Current is your center for contemporary art.
