I've been familiar with Cindy Sherman's work for a while and still I am unsure what I think of it. When I first came across it I thought that was really interesting and clever, playing around with stereotypes. However, now I feel tht it is a bit repetatitive. I remember seeing one series she did, in which she dressed up as different characters and photographed herself as these personas sitting in a chair. For me, the work didnt tell me anything new, nor did seem original and thought-provoking, as I had seen her do something very similar only recently. I think that she cleverly demonstrates that we should look beyond what we immediately see, however much like Damian Hurst's 'Spot' paintings, I think this can only be done so many times.
