her work is amazing - emotionally charged, vulnerable, visceral...she translated suffering and pain into tangible abstractions.
great slide show of her works here.
“The subject of pain is the business I am in,” she said. “To give meaning and shape to frustration and suffering.” She added: “The existence of pain cannot be denied. I propose no remedies or excuses.” (NY Times)
