Barbara Kruger

I was in a lecture about Identity last week when I was reminded of the collage artist Barbara Kruger. The recurring motifs in her work are black and white photographs overlaid with red Futura captions, criticising topics such as power and sexism. It is the combination of political commentary and bold graphics that draws me to her work. I would like to give work I do more of a contemporary context.
