She pairs enameled shapes with wallpaper, creating an interesting reference to domestic spaces and the decorative. My absolute favorite works are from her Ghost series in which she uses the enameled pieces to break down the stylized elements in the wallpaper to an organic, pre-decorative state...
I also really enjoy these over-the-top, almost campy, pieces entitled Growths. The layering of decoration on decoration points to the gaudiness of the decorative in art, but also seems to honor it at the same time.
This gorgeous installation is titled Wallflower. I love how she flips your perspective with this piece. Usually the important viewing material is within the frame... In this work, it's what we find in the background that counts.
