In the early 1980s, Kiki Smith enjoyed a considerable underground reputation for an eerie, bio-obsessed repertoire which included paintings of insects or body parts on tie-dyed backgrounds, CAT scan and x-ray photography, a sculpture of a rotting hand suspended in a muck-filled Mason jar, and severed-finger earring multiples. Following a period of training as an emergency medical technician in 1985, her art became focused on sculpturesand drawings of individual internal organs or organic systems, particularly those involving digestion and reproduction.
