Two carved self-portrait bust of herself, one made of chocolate(lick), and one made of soap(lather).
In most of her work she uses herself, ether through self portraits, or the use of her hair for painting.
Here's an excerpt from an interview on PBS. There's a series called ART21, that profiles artist of all kind, highly inspirational viewing!
"I think it’s a funny thing when you think about the creative process and what we go through when we’re making a work. A lot of times there’s this element of destruction. That we have to kind of unmake in order to make. And that interests me very much. And also working from very basic materials. I’m also thinking a lot about this idea that there’s this kind of relationship between me and her that I’m literally feeding myself with myself and washing myself with myself. So there’s this circular narrative that’s happening."
