Stathacos is heavily involved with and influenced by feminism, Greek Mythology, eastern spirituality and Tibetan Buddhism, all of which inform her current artistic practice.
[2] This practice, and the work that resulted from it, led to a performative collaboration with Hunter Reynolds, The Banquet, (a loose reinterpretation and restaging of Meret Oppenheim's Spring Feast).
[3] The loss of friends due to AIDS in the mid-to-late 1990s prompted Stathacos to travel to India and East Asia, where she became involved with Buddhism and Eastern spirituality, which in turn informed both her art and activism.
[4][5] Before his death from complications of AIDS in 1994, the artist Jorge Zontal - a member of the collective General Idea - gave Stathacos cannabis plants from his apartment garden.
[9] Most recently, Stathacos' artwork has evolved into an ongoing time-based site-specific installation practice, where she creates elaborate mandalas made from plucked rose petals and circular mirrors.
