20th century surrealism. Pop artists such as Claes Oldenburg are acknowledged influences. Fuller's work finds inspiration from natural and man-made forms, and is often concerned with finding the correlations between the two, while addressing issues of social concepts, popular culture, and perception. According to Lanny Silverman, Curator of Exhibitions Chicago Cultural Center Department of Cultural Affairs, "Fuller utilizes manufactured components that are part and parcel of the modern industrial age [...] and reveals a facet of our consumer culture. Fuller's strategy is to liberate these objects from their everyday functions by combining them in whacky configurations that tease us with some sense of use." Amongst her body of work is the large-scale public sculpture, "Shoe of Shoes", in St. Louis, Missouri, a large high-heeled woman's shoe made from approximately 2,000 cast aluminum shoes, and her 35-foot tall Bronze sculpture, "Global Garden Shovel", in Seattle, Washington. Exhibitions Fuller has received four solo shows, including exhibits at the Paint Creek Center for the Arts entitled “Extraordinary Ordinary” in Michigan in 1998 and at the Chicago Cultural Center, titled "The Emancipation of the Common Object" in 2001. Fuller's work is included in group shows, including, in 2011, Recycled, Reclaimed, Repurposed in the Willis Tower lobby and The Department of Cultural Affairs presents CSI on the Boulevard. In 2010, Fuller's work was featured in exhibits such as Sculpture Invasion 2010 at Koehline Museum of art in Des Plaines, Illinois, and an outdoor sculpture show Countercurrents at Art Chicago in Merchandise Mart in Chicago. The same year, Fuller was commissioned to contribute to Comed's public display “Fine Art Fridges” in Chicago. The resulting work, Peas and Quiet, is now on exhibit at the Discovery Center Museum in Rockford, Illinois. Other notable shows include “Species Affected by Global Warming” at the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum in Chicago in 2009, a 3-person show with Robert H.
