"Eye Body: 36 Transformative Actions for Camera was a private action staged in the artist’s studio without an audience and exists solely in photographic form. The artist wanted to combine her physical, naked presence with the materials of the artistic environment in which she produced paintings and constructions – paint, chalk, grease – so that the female body became simultaneously the active seeing subject and object." - James Cahill, Flying Too Close to the Sun
