From the feminist overtones of her earlier series Lavished Living,(1983-1984) and Objet D'Art (1988); to her cynical comments on consumerism found in her series' Tall Tales and True (1986-1987) and Peripherique (1989); to the more recent video works Undertow (2002) and the video work, Havoc, seen at the 2007 Venice Biennale.The project focuses on the geologically and politically volatile region of East Java , that experienced a disastrous volcanic eruption.

Norrie has had more than 30 solo shows all over the world and her work is in the collections of the Art Gallery of NSW, the Australian National Gallery and the Guggenheim Museum in New York.
