Specialist note

"I'm trying to make an image of what it feels like to look. I want to make a fresh vision of something that's compelling; something that commands our attention; something that is so visually lush that you'll give it multiple readings adding your own history and traditions to the layered content. Some things make you feel transcended; others make you feel slimed. I'm constantly looking for that transcendant moment."
– Marilyn Minter, "It's a Marilyn Minter Moment," Creative Time [Press Release], 25 January 2006.
