Using herself as a model in a range of costumes in invented situations, she plays with images created and popularized by mass media, popular culture, and fine art. Television, advertising, magazines, fashion, and Old Master paintings--they are all fair game. <p/>Whether using makeup, costumes, props, or prosthetics to manipulate her own appearance, or devising elaborate narrative tableaux, the entire body of forty years' work constitutes a distinctive response to contemporary culture.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Erika Balsom</b> is a film critic and senior lecturer at King's College London. <br/><b>Magda Keaney </b>is senior curator of photographs at the National Portrait Gallery, London. <br/><b>Paul Moorhouse </b>is an independent curator and writer, formerly curator at the National Portrait Gallery, London. <b>Rochelle Steiner</b> is associate director and chief curator at the Vancouver Art Gallery.
