I find the ideas behind Peregrine's work far more compelling than Abdi's, but I've never been much of a fan of collage. I like it to some degree, but while I love the individual elements that go into her sculptural collages a whole lot, I don't really like the aesthetic of the piles she ends up with. Just a bit more attention to structure and arrangement would go a long way for me.
With what she's said about her commune upbringing, the "conventional marriage" line got a chuckle out of me.
