Gretta's interest in photography brought
her to create either explosive images as in the series Transformations
and A Woman's Diary, where she superimposes several transparencies together;
or layered images as in the series Body Works. The result was related
to the international art movement called Body Art, involvement where she was
one of the instigator. The motivation for Gretta to use the female body, sometimes
her own body, comes from within herself. It is an expression of her inner
spirit that creates these works in,,a very personal way. The spectator
feels like a voyeur, as if catching a glimpse of their own reflection in a
shop window and suddenly ooks at themselves in a different light.
