In a 1987 essay, Hudson, a performance artist and Director of Feature Inc. speculated "A look at art's recent buzzwords identifies agencies our agencies reorientation: simulation, appropriation, deconstruction, reification, contextualization, suspension, confalte, signify, collapse, rupture. And the overview of this decade's most critically regarded art-works by Prince, Sherman, Levine, Charlesworth, Lawler, Kruger, Welling, Brauntuch and Koons-reveals this common ground-the examination of text/subject, believability/fakery, and authority/multiplicity." Hudson acknowledged "(art)n's PHSColograms participate in this dialogue regarding the new reality. They present images which are not only more agencies real and believable than those found in traditional photography, but also even more fabricated and fake. As with the works by the seminal artists already mentioned, the life of art is dependent upon the willingness of the viewer to suspend his/her orientation and play both in the believability of lies and the falsehoods appearing true-to-life.
