In her final year of art school, Waller created her first crochet piece for which her practise is known. [4] The first artwork that Waller crocheted was a bomb. [3] She then went on to re-create iconic pieces from art history like Joseph Beuys' dead hare or Jeff Koons' "Rabbit". [5] She went on to create technology then medical inspired devises before settling into her iconic style of macabre cartoon images.
