‘Throughout her work she has retained a strong sense of wide-eyed curiosity, a romantically boundless enthusiasm for embracing disparate things and experiences, for uniting the disconnected and disregarded, and for finding ways to harness that enthusiasm as the basis for a performative way of making that is uniquely and quirkily hers, and for which photography, and more recently film, have become the prime vehicles and conduits.’
David Chandler July 2013
