She provided a link to the next generation, a gateway to the Postmodern, Asia and feminism. She was a model of independence, yet she embraced socialism, networking and communal living. A three year trip to Japan in the late '50's revealed that country's cultural attraction to working in groups which was much to her liking. When Dienes returned to the US, she relocated to "The Land," a collective community an hour north of Manhattan. She developed "rubbings," the layering of surface textures to bring out, not the artist, but what is already present. "Art is humanity's expressing… the understanding of reality," she once said.
