From a drawing of a trucker whore modeling Armani to the artist using herself in re-creations of 19th century cause-of-death wet plate collodion photographs, Honig demonstrates that she is post-medium, satisfying her imagination through drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, poetry and performance. In [...]
