Her book, ''Visualizing Feeling: Affect and the Feminine Avant-garde'' focuses on four artists of the 1960s and 70s: Eva Hesse, Lygia Clark, Ana Mendieta and Theresa Hak Kyung Cha. It shows how their work transforms the avant-garde protocols of the period by introducing an affective dimension to late modern art. According to Suzannah Biernoff ''Visualizing Feeling: Affect and the Feminine Avant-garde'' "should be compulsory reading for anyone interested in psychoanalytic approaches to art." The project was funded by an Australian Research Council Discovery grant. Provided by Wikipedia
