I found her work to be very intelectual. I liked how everything she did had a very very detailed inspiration and purpose. I liked the simplicity of her work. Whole photos of the surface of water, zoomed in portraits of just a person's face, or a bird, or a room. She breaaks down the simplicity of a scene and allows you the time to sit back and analyze it.
She sid in the interview I just watched that her work is moved or inspired by her surroundings. She likened her experience with photographing water as that most of the time she is pursuing a subject to photograph. Almost hunting that subject. But in the case of the water, it is pursuing her. She is the one being hunted. She also had some instalation and sculpture peices of text and words she wrote. The words never seem to be com[lete thoughts. She doesn't want to tell you exactly what to think she just wants to start the process of thinking. And that she found defined herself. That she was always trying to define unkown concepts with metaphors of words and visuals, but as she defines them she does not want to extinguish the unknown, but she wants to destinguish what is known.
Her work seemed very natural and wether you liked it or not, it is hard to ignore. Something about it sneeks into your mind or subconcious.
