Weems creates work that examines, among other subjects, issues of racism, classism and sexism. Although primarily known as a photographer, Weems also employs written text, banners, sound and sculpture in her work to create a rich array of artwork including photograhpic documentaries, still lifes, tableaux and installation pieces. Throughout her work, Weems’ goal has been to “describe simply and directly those aspects of American culture in need of deeper illumination.”
