Hershman Leeson\u2019s early work consisted of sculptures, usually made of wax casts from her face, to which she added sound. Among them, Self Portrait As Another Person<\/em> (1966-68) is an early interactive work made of a wax cast of the artist\u2019s head, a wig, and a cassette player that activated by a sensor, initiating a dialogue between the viewer and the artwork.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
