Her and Barbara Kruger are heros to me in the realms of typography and graphic design for meaning.

I know that I use my own account there as a place for the detritus of my skull – and even there, her influence on me is disturbingly visible.

Her twitter account is *perfect*. A little jolt out of the blue, every couple of days. Exactly as it should be.

I wonder if she’s one of those out-of-her-time artists, who makes much more sense now than when she first started, as the media available to her have caught up with her. There seem to be a few folks like that.
