The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a new type of work (bas relief) and critical moment in the artist's practice and technique: her second decade of paintings which saw a postmodern shift in her work to include assemblage, objects in addition to collage and appropriation. This work has been written about in national reviews and exhibited extensively. 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 method in her art and her development. Bramson’s work of this type and the work itself are discussed in the article and elsewhere.
