She emerged as an artist in the 1980s along with the “picture theory” artists such as Cindy Sherman, Barbara Kruger, Richard Prince, Jack Goldstein and David Salle. Since then, she has been considered a “trailblazer,” drawing influences from Minimalism and Pop art and often employing material media images from the 20th century as her source material.
Fumée (2015) is a self-portrait using the exact pose as Man Ray used in his portrait of Lee Miller, “woman smoking a cigarette.”
