Senga Nengudi

American, born 1943 7 works online

Senga Nengudi transforms everyday materials like paper, masking tape, nylon pantyhose, sand, water, and plastic into art. Although she works primarily in abstraction , Nengudi consistently references the body and its capacity to shift states—through materials and forms and through the presence of costumed bodies that animate her performance works.
