...Chavez insists she did nothing wrong from an employment point of view, claiming that an illegal Guatemalan immigrant living in her home was there out of charity, not to work - which is why Chavez never paid taxes on her wages.

In some ways Mardozo's work is less concerned with the problematic relationship between artistic representation and the female form than the other pieces in the show. "Nudes to the Nth" leaves behind identifiable femininity for a rich, mysterious world where skin is no longer an indication of human presence...
