Chakaia Booker appropriates rubber tires in her work, which makes her a recycling role model for the rest of us. She has reinterpreted tons of Goodyear and Firestone products in a socio-anthropological statement about our place in the environment. But I really love her works on paper for their simple beauty, though I imagine they are fraught with references to rubber. The Newark, New Jersey native is, not surprisingly, a past recipient of the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Award.
