In Desire and Destruction (2006) the artist depicts a series of icons of the 20th century – artists, writers and rock stars – paraphrasing well-known images. The portraits of Andy Warhol and his favourite transsexual model, Candy Darling, indicate the pop art ideals of this project. Here, one also found Marilyn Monroe, Allen Ginsberg, Basquiat, Courtney Love & Kurt Cobain, Sex Pistols and many others. The series also included a paraphrase of Vivien Westwood’s famous Sex picture. Among all these heroes and anti-heroes of modern life, the artist has painted herself in several versions, sometimes in the company of friends, her ex-lover or her boyfriend (now husband). Thus, she writes – or rather paints – her own persona into a mythological universe.
