If it were a Koons, different story! I am always creating new works, which does keep me one step ahead of the ripoff game. However, it doesn't reduce the sting of seeing your idea get copied or used as someone else's, ESPECIALLY when they get featured on magazines, get accepted into exhibitions, etc. with work that is yours, which has been the case with my work. I have tried to talk with the offending artists and have been met with haughty disregard. I have complained to the huge national art group that published another artist's work that was a rip off of mine (I had sent her images for a show she was curating, she copied the works and then used them as her own) and been told to be flattered that someone is "inspired" by me. Ostriches. I have given up and just go on making new work and ignore these offenses. That is the world today and another crappy indignity us artists have to contend with.

My piece was just hung and debuted last evening at the gallery where I have my fiber arts studio in Fredericksburg VA in the States.
