Best known as a highly visible sculptor whose public works dot sites across the United States, Lynda Benglis has also worked extensively in video and has experimented with printmaking, cast paper, painting, drawing, and ceramics. Her work has included labels such as expressionist, feminist, exhibitionist, Pop, funk, minimalist, and post-minimalist.

According to critic Marlena Donohoe, "Benglis' belief that art is about rich organic gesture has remained a theme over the last decade of knots. We can see this interest in these drapery-like convolutions caught in metallic freeze frames, which often suggest strange life forms or the processes of nature that are eruptive and generative.

A final twist to this intelligent art, Benglis makes sure that we realize that her position is ultimately equivocal; we sense in the work that she both reveres and ridicules the flashy, decorative tradition that - like it or not - is at art's very core."
