Totally inspiring. Especially the movie about the artist's mother. I feel as though I now have permission to pull and blend and place things from everywhere...on canvas or in my life. Beautiful. Thank you.

Thank you Mickalene - and all involved in this exhibit, from LA to Brooklyn. I have been following you since the Matrix show at the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford. Your art has grown so beautifully. I was so moved by your interiors (new to me) and of course the installations and the film. Again and again thank you.

Interesting sense of design and material, but not very interesting as a painter. My favorite work is the photograph of Qusuqzah, which truly engages.

This is amazing! The pieces are gorgeous and evocative and smart. I want to see more of her work! Thomas makes me care about art history from the contemporary.
