People in the News
This mixed-media series combines the spirit of agitprop with the strategies of appropriation. People in the News was a column that ran in the New York Times and focused on society and celebrities. In a subversive twist these works use the actual pages from the column and take the headlines as a point of departure to create her images of an abject humanity.
