She is known for making "clean works, many of them white, in which objects seem not so much removed from function as between functions" as described by Michael Brenson of The New York Times.[1] She is also known for her published art work by the title "Excuse my Dust" that was done in conjunction with the curators of the Smithsonian Institution.[2]
