Why her
Three reasons. One: the range, with film, photography and performance all in play at once. Two: the moment, with a New York gallery solo and a Madison museum exhibition landing in the same season. Three: the read, work that opens funny and turns complicated the longer you look, as the LA Weekly profile put it in 2023. Her Tyler Park Presents exhibition Amor Prohibido was reviewed by Art and Cake.
