Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) Fern Shaffer
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating and supporting encyclopedic discussion of a key element and critical moment in the artist's practice and technique: her late-period body of performance/ritual works focused on ecological themes. Because the article is about an artist and her work, the omission of the image would significantly limit a reader's understanding and ability to visualize this stage and form of her art. Shaffer’s work of this type is discussed in the article and has been discussed in detail by numerous art critics.
