Here is a picture of Kiki Smith, I figured I would show a picture of what she actually looks like. I think it is important to see what artists look like because if you view a piece of one's work you imagine them to look completely different than what they actually do, and I find it really interesting how their looks may or may not reveal in their work.
This is Untitled (Hanging Woman) by Kiki Smith from 1992. This piece sort of reminds of Professor Petry's work (when she gave a demo for Art Club earlier in the semester) because she would somehow incorporate a human figure. I like this piece because it is creepy and you are not sure what was going through the artist's head at the time. I personally think, going along Smith's "Body Artists," that this relates with female sexual difference and the possible burdens and stereotypes women feel throughout their life.
