Description
Sokari Douglas Camp: Sensational Steel is a comprehensive monograph exploring the career of internationally recognised artist Sokari Douglas Camp. From her early undergraduate works in the 1980s to over four decades of prolific sculptural production, this publication examines her recursive explorations of masquerade performance, costumed display, spiritual activity, danced movement, and protesting violence, pollution, and racial injustice.
The book delves into the diverse themes that inform Douglas Camp's work, drawing on significant personal and environmental influences. With more than eighty colour figures, many never before published, this publication provides a unique insight into her artistic practice. This is the first publication to consider the complexity of Douglas Camp's career, shedding light on the fluctuations in its reception.
