and satirical works ranging from performance through to sculpture and video have influenced an entire generation of artists in a career spanning some 30 years she is a mentor to many emerging artists as an artist teacher curator and editor my main interest is to make narratives that put women at the centre as opposed to the periphery i m trying to create images strong images and positive images of women she said in describing her work i feel very strongly about being recognized as a feminist i m not ashamed of being a feminist and i m not buying into the backlash of anti feminism i think i ll beat the feminist drum until the day i die while some of my work my work may not be directly didactic or directly about feminism i think it is always about making strong images about women but she added i like to have a healthy dash of humour so i like to poke fun at my own political dogma and i think it s important to laugh at yourself if there were three words that would summarize my interests they would be women power and humour her works include tyranny of bliss and in pursuit of happiness which has toured canada and hot a performance piece that reflects on middle age she also
