| Schneemann's "Action for Camera" in which she merged her own body with the environment of her painting/constructions... "I wanted my actual body to be combined with the work as an integral material-- a further dimension of the construction... I am both image maker and image. The body may remain erotic, sexual, desired, desiring, but it is as well votive: marked, written over in a text of stroke and gesture discovered by my creative female will." - CS |
