This celebrated multimedia artist has long been an international success as she has participated in some fifty group exhibitions in 16 different countries on both sides of the Atlantic. Originating in photographic discourse, her artistic expression has evolved through different mixed-media forms before reaching today’s sculptural installations. Exhibited works include manipulated and enlarged black and white photographs from her own family album. The figures in her photographs are darkened, therefore becoming silhouettes which possess a disturbing anonymity. These dark, flat figures contrast sharply with the vinyl, air-filled figures of her more recent installations, though they seem to express a similar sense of emptiness. This book reveals the genius of this artist who has successfully found an array of materials and media that serve as poignant and powerful forms of expression.
