The Spirit Girls was the name of Marnie Weber's six member drone-rock musical group. Marnie Weber's work is featured on the cover of the 1998 Sonic Youth album A Thousand Leaves. Her work most often focuses on the adventures of women, which sometimes take the form of half-human, half-animal hybrids with bodies cut from pornographic magazines, and other times, pale-faced, folksy ghosts known as 'Spirit Girls'.
An animal often found in her work is the bear, which is linked to the Greek goddess Artemis. These characters, among others, are placed in 'vividly colorful environment', ornate, Empire style interiors or dark, dense, eerie landscapes.
Much of Weber's visual art revolves around a recurring cast of characters.
