I've always been very tied to language.

Power doesn't just exist. It is threaded through different mechanisms of control. I'm interested in those complexities. But I want to address that in very forthright language and sometimes with images.

Seeing is no longer believing. The very notion of truth has been put into crisis. In a world bloated with images, we are finally learning that photographs do indeed lie.

I'd always been a news junkie, always read lots of newspapers and watched the Sunday morning news shows on TV and felt strongly about issues of power, control, sexuality and race.

I think I developed language skills to deal with threat. It's the girl thing to do-you know, instead of pulling out a gun.

Do you know why language manifests itself the way it does in my work? It's because I understand short attention spans.
