- born january 19, 1954 in glen ridge, new jersey
- originally went to buffalo state college studying painting
- gave up painting for photo cause of painting's "limitations"
- failed a required photo class the first time around
- supposedly not her work isn't feminist, yet many call attention to the stereotyping of women in films, television and magazines
- received the macarthur award in 1995
- named on of the top ten living artists by artnews magazine in 1999
series:
- untitled film stills (1975- 1980)
- gleams and reflections (1980)
- centerfolds (1981)
- fashion (1983- 1984)
- fairy tale disasters (1985- 1989)
- history portraits (1985- 1989)
- civil war (1991)
- mannequins (1992)
- the office killer (1996, film)
okay, so this is totally my opinion (duh), but i think the first image is a whole lot better and interesting. i think that her "sex pictures" are completely tasteless. the fairy tale series (which i had trouble finding decent pictures of online) are creepy in an interesting way. i don't think i've seen any of the history, civil war, or gleams and reflections pictures. but by far, i like the untitled film series most.
