In her new work she has actually photographed "remains" (dead bodies) ... on first glance, one might think the work gruesome, but actually, the work is incredibly moving and terrifically beautiful. All large format work. She revealed an interesting note about how she works. I'm paraphrasing here ... "I have no light meter, and no shutter on the camera, so I just put my hand in front of the lens and remove it for the time that I estimate the exposure requires."
