She\u2019s often immortalised in grainy black-and-white photography, as a severe vision of bleach-blonde-beehived, Cleopatra-eyed, latex-sheathed, fuck-you defiance, yet, there is far more to her influence than straightforward anarchic provocation. Rebellion was actually something of a by-product. Art (\u201cI often described myself as a living work of art\u201d), personal expression and a militant desire to champion the outlier were all at the real crux of her infectious perspective.
