Adrian Piper

In her younger years, still in high school, she created paintings that were discovered later on in life and became known works. For instance "Alice Down the Rabbit Hole". They are considered Adrian's LSD paintings. She began to understand the principle of Conceptual art. The media she chooses to use is painting, sculpture, drawing, performance, video, installation, sound works and photo documentation.
    Having it being her first generation as a conceptual artists she began to introduce herself into yoga and meditation. This was something she wanted to achieve personally. Her goal was to explore her consciousness, perception, and infinite permutation using maps, diagrams, photographs, and descriptive language. After this she went onto exploring Minimalism.
