The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating an early stage and body of work in Katy Schimert's career in the mid-1990s: her diverse exhibitions and installation, which offered circling, visionary narratives unfolding in confessional letters, mysterious objects, films and storyboard-like watercolors. These shows invoked myth, intuition, scientific and social knowledge, and female bodily experience, exploring themes of love, notions of natural phenomena such as the moon and its mythological connotations, and imagery of human events, such as the first lunar expedition. Because the article is about an artist and her work, the omission of the image would significantly limit a reader's understanding and ability to visualize this key developmental stage in her career, which brought early recognition through exhibitions in major venues, coverage by critics in major publications and books. Schimert's work of this type and this work in particular is discussed in the article and by prominent critics cited in the article.
