[Artist and feminist activist, b. 1935, East Chicago, Indiana, lives in New York.]
What I am most concerned with is spirituality as it manifests itself in our bodies/minds and how this affects how we see/feel about our being, and as a feminist awakening to the greater self as female, as well as making a political statement for women that says I am, and I am large, and I am my body, and I am not going away.
The camera is in fact usually the only witness to my private rituals—the best of them have been when I am alone.
