| The Power Of… by Ta-coumba Aiken at Minneapolis Central Library - Fourth Floor, Fireplace Mosaic Artist's Statement: I believe that art can be used as a vehicle for enlightenment and change. Consequently, I create art to heal the hearts and souls of people by evoking a positive spirit. My paintings investigate the many layers of human existence. The need for shelter should and will be at the forefront of any society, and given Minnesota’s climate, it should be one of our top priorities. This work captures the essence of Home—past, present, and future. |
