Kiki Smith is a German-born American artist. Her central ideas and concerns are often reflected in her work, some of which are sex, birth, regeneration, gender, race, health, humans and nature, and women's rights. A few of her inspirations were her father's death and her sister's death from AIDS. She often produces works of sculpture, printmaking, photography, drawing, and textile. She has used materials such as clothes screen printed with body parts and aquatint. A characteristic of her work is body parts.
Personally, I think it's beautiful how she takes personal tragedy and makes it into art. I respect her ability to incorporate her own feelings and thoughts without them also overwhelming the aesthetic appeal of her work.
