Technique and Thematic Exploration
Getter’s work is characterized by a distinct collagist approach, often combining materials and elements that are not typically paired together. In her Tel Hai cycle, she utilized monochromatic scales and materials not traditionally considered "artistic" to engage with themes of heroism, sight, blindness, and the human form. Her technique often involves mixed media, such as photography and drawing, and the use of mechanical tools like plumb lines or squeegees of paint. In later works, such as Double Monster (1996) and the The Asia Society's Building series (2003), her practice explores the tension between logic and the grotesque, often reconstructing idealistic structures to highlight the insufficiency of the human body.
Throughout her distinguished career, Getter has received several honors, including:
