This edition, Kara Walker explains, "is a departure from the bulk of my works which is situated in a fictionalized version of the Antebellum South, which is the hub where profane racial mythologies shake hands with the mundane reality of day to day existence in a racially divided culture. This is a quiet little contemplative piece in which a Negress of Renown dons sheep's clothing, or is dry humped by its filthy little self."
