It seems to me that in the spectrum of photography she's much less a photographer and more a visual artist working in the photographic medium. That's on the opposite end of the scale from Ansel Adams. Like most forms of human endeavor there's going to be a curve. Hopefully people are going to push that curve. I don't find her work particularly interesting myself - I'm simply not in the audience for it. But there are other photographers whose work leaves me mostly cold also. One of the joys of being human. Personally I find her work like watching "The West Wing", a program I have abandoned due to its incredible preachiness. I like my art subtle where I get to make my own conclusions.
