Ghada Amer__

Ghada Amer was born in Cairo, Egypt. She now lives and works in New york. But originally studied at Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Nice; School of the museum of Fine arts; Institut des Hautes Etudes en Arts Plastiques, Paris. She has been exhibiting her work since the early 1990's. She describes herself as a painter but she is a multimedia artist whose work includes Painting, Drawing, Sculpture, Performance and Installation.

I like her work because it is messy but tidy in the same way. I chose her for my Graphic Image Making unit because when i deface my photos my plan is to do them in the way of deleting parts with paint and text. Also i might stitch into my photographs to delete sections.
