Although not completely relevant to my work i like the idea of body modification within Rebecca Horns work. I like how her artwork and way of working is a means to physically extend herself through her art. She has used her art as a way of over coming something, such as an extension of her hands to pick something far off the ground.
She has also created an artwork where she enables herself to draw with her face. Reflecting upon this she has used sculpture as a means to overcome some sort of problem, whether it is useful or not.
