"Drawn to the power of the word, Sister Corita incorporated fragments of text, slogans and signs taken from billboards, street signs, advertising jingles, pop songs, poems, newspapers and magazines into her work. She sampled quotes by Martin Luther King Jr., Rainer Maria Rilke, Phillip Roth and the Psalms.... Corita's innovative use of loaded text...enhance the power of the quote to create unique revolutionary, spiritual and social statements. Sister Corita was not only an activist and Pop artist but also a teacher."
