Kruger works with mainly black & white images and then overlays them with black, white or red text mainly referring to political issues like capitalism, gender issues and so on. Her canvas for these phrases are appropriated or altered images.
As I know the message of Kruger's work is still incredibly relevant and important, the images she uses don't really speak to me as a person. I feel more of a connection with the words that she has over-layed onto the images than the images themselves. I think this must be because I feel like they're not the main message, the images are just a back drop to these phrases and statements.
None the less, I feel that her work is relevant to where my project is at the moment.
