Made by slicing into the rubber innertube of a car tire, Mwilambwe’s hanging grids refer to maps, patterns of traditional scarification, and the carving out of multiple identities. Part textile, part Nevelsonesque sculpture, the negative space traces urban landscapes and interior identities. The artist lives and works in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo and studied art at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kinshasa.
