Art Quote by Carrie Mae Weems
“You know, artists are influenced by other artists. We're all deeply influenced by what's around us; we don't make anything cold. Sometimes we think that we do. But within that, the most important part is that even though we're influenced, what are the levels of invention that we carry forth even as we've been influenced by something that's come before?”
![“It's fair to say that black folks operate under a cloud of invisibility - this too is part of the work, is indeed central to [my photographs]... This invisibility - this erasure out of the complex history of our life and time - is the greatest source of my longing.” quote by Carrie Mae Weems](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/344/carrie-mae-weems-24837_black_it-s-fair-to-say-that-black-folks-operat_1875928.jpg)
