Frida Kahlo is a cultural icon not only in Mexico but around the world. Her image has become ubiquitous on t-shirts, iPhone cases, posters and backpacks. In our fascination, have we taken a complex woman and reduced her to a caricature? I struggled with how I should represent her, until I found a dusty Mexican folk art Ferris wheel on the top shelf of my studio. There are many Fridas and in this work, they all go round and round in our imagination.
