Works

Her work deals with the themes of death, disease and the effects of illness.[1] In 2007, she was commissioned by blogger David Welch who was suffering from a brain tumor to create a series of works depicting his treatment.[2][3] In 2007-2008, she worked as a fellow at Georgetown University Hospital exploring her interest in these subjects. In November 2007, a large retrospective of her science-related work was displayed at the International Museum of Surgical Science[4] in Chicago.

She created The 0 Project, a large scale interactive installation that debuted at the Arlington Arts Center in Arlington, VA in October, 2007.[5] The 0 Project also includes public participation in the forms of dance, music and related artworks.[6]

She is represented in permanent collections in the Corcoran Gallery of Art, the New York Public Library Print Collection, the National Museum of American History, Harvard University and the Papyrus Institute in Cairo, Egypt.
