Über die Künstlerin
- Geboren 1958, verstorben 1996
- Ihre Plastiken orientieren sich an Menschen, die von der Gesellschaft als ‚seltsam‘ und ‚nicht normal‘ angesehen werden
- „Beautifully sewn, with extravagant clothes, make-up and hairstyles, they were at once glamorous and grotesque and exuded intense, Expressionistic personalities that reminded some observers of Egon Schiele. They presaged many of the concerns of ’90s art, including the emphasis on the body, sexuality, fashion and, in their resemblance to puppets, performance.“ – Roberta Smith
