Kenya Moffett-Garner said her art also reflects political movements that are changing history.

– As we continue our celebration of artists during Black History Month, we meet a young Chicago artist who uses clay to mold her vision of the world."Clay is flexible and adaptable," said Kenya Moffett-Garner."3D, I can hold it. You can also see her history in Moffett-Garner's art.

Moffett-Garner's love of art runs deep and started early in her Marquette Park home, with crayons and very patient parents. "We see ourselves every day," she said."You look in a mirror. The first kind of inspiration was myself, seeing myself in the mirror, seeing how I saw myself and seeing how other people saw me.""All my work is intentionally painted brown or Black because I wanted the viewers to see themselves reflected as like in a mirror," she said."My sculptures don't stand up straight. They're twisted or bent or curved. They stare at you or they're staring away.
