Womanhouse
1971-72. Landmark collaborative feminist installation in a house in Hollywood, by Feminist Art Program at California Institute of the Arts.
Womanhouse examined and commented on the content, forms, and history of gender roles and of women's maintenance work in the home; and delved into the complex dynamics and relations that have constituted women's separate sphere in the division of labor. Left to right: "Crocheted Environment", "Dining Room", Womanhouse catalog cover.
Body and Soul:
A sculpture based on a common cemetery image of urns with drapery flowing from them which signifies the soul leaving the body. Here, two chemistry vessels--one filled with red, the other with green ink--are connected by a filmy white cloth, that slowly seeps up the colors through capillary action, which creates beautiful, unpredictable stains on the cloth.

Wall of Wounds
Wall of Wounds, 1996, "Feminist Directions", UC Riverside, CA. Installation of l00 6" x 6" Rorschach print and painted "wounds", titled and signed. This piece was an ironic comment on our public victim culture where each person is eager to proclaim h/er own wound. Each wound is thus titled: phallic wound, empathic wound, sexual wound, political wound, psychic wound, etc.
