Ness is the mother figure. Her aesthetic is abstract and symbolist painting, often with a moody, patterned handling of popular culture. Like Kore, Ness incorporates craft in her work, often quilting her canvases and puzzling together imagery and ideas. Her references include Paul Cézanne, Sigmar Polke, Chaim Soutine, Charline Von Heyl, and Anselm Kiefer.
