2002-28 ' ; $object_summary = 'Influential to a generation of photographers, Goldin\'s portrait-driven work examines the social milieu of outsiders. Often working within the loose narrative structure of series of related images, she photographs intimate scenes of her closest friends. A religious motif frequently found in her work can be seen in Self-Portrait in blue bathroom, London, where the bathtub suggests ritual cleansing, and the artist\'s image in the mirror is framed by the blue of St. Mary.
