Ok, looking at some of her other pieces.

s/kinda neat/really neat/gs;

So surreal and shocking and thought provoking and sometimes whimsical and fun and creepy and icky and oogy and f'ed up and cute and... just odd.

Great link!

I can appreciate her work, but... *shakes with the willies*

It's a an excellent reminder that good artwork may not be enjoyable. Give her an NEA grant.

Little warning would have been nice.

warning
Is that little enough for you?

Like others, I found these funny, touching, poignant and sometimes, downright disturbing. Which, I imagine, was kind of the point of the exercise.

She should SO make a music video.

I looked at these last night. Some of them, I found impressive and disturbing, but others -pretty much most of them with the subject in the bathtub- seemed to be afterthoughts, very poor composition and too self-conscious (okay, do you want me to hold the fish up here, or here? it's getting kinda cold, take the picture already!)

Of course, then I had a horrible nightmare about carrying arround my toddler's detached leg, so I'd say as art, the Disembodied pictures are pretty darned effective.

God, I love this, especially Empty Couple and, what is it? . . . Thorn Embrace? . . . and the whole Chicken series. Thanks.
