Then, in 2006 she contributed to our celebrated EARTH BY series. Since then she has continued to sketch one of the most unique and powerful visions in contemporary art, mercilessly dissecting connections between woman, man, object, beauty, psychology, politics, and terror. Upon first glance, her art is always arrestingly beautiful, but it belies deeper layers of a complicated human pathos in which woman is the inevitable recipient of society’s misplaced anger and adoration. This summer, the first book to collect her work to date, A Shady Promise (Damiani), spans from her early line drawings to her breakout and now-famous “Pin-up” collages to her most recent work, such as the image pictured on the previous page, Misguided Unforgivable Hierarchies (2005). It’s a highly anticipated monograph within the international art world that is sure to astonish in all the right ways.
