Ana Mendieta uses her own body as both media and subject to explore issues with gender and cultural identity.
She concentrated her work in the 1960's on earth art and body art, combining the two to create "earth-body art"- of which she is most widely known.
Mendieta's work is quite political and that is something that doesn't really interest me deeply, but I love the different media's and places where she has performed.
As well as using her body in performances, she also uses it to create scenes with a negative body which are just as striking.
