257:. Her studies were interrupted by an accident in 1989 that forced a long recovery in a wheelchair and crutches and shifted her art from large abstractions using unconventional materials to small charcoal drawings she could do in her lap. They led to her first mature work, atmospheric charcoal drawings that fused abstraction and figuration. During and after graduate studies, Couzens drew attention for her art in shows at the Christopher Grimes (Santa Monica), Jeremy Stone (San Francisco) and Michael Himovitz (Sacramento) galleries; the Oakland Museum and Yale University also acquired works. She began teaching at this time, at 431:
more to natural forces beyond the body and cultural issues involving domesticity and power. Three major bodies of work emerged: the web-like, three-dimensional "Net Work" fabrications; the "Tape" drawings, in which she "drew" using scissors, a matte knife and cut tape on vellum; and the "Bundles," which were sculptural forms tightly wrapped with twine, rope, yarn and fabric. Critics noted the linear energy of this work, comparing it to the frenzied thickets of gesture in the late paintings of

In "Strange Fascination" (2006), she expanded the work spatially and materially, transforming steel cages, yarn, electrical tape, lighting fixtures, fabric, and more, into obsessive pieces that referenced domesticity and femininity. David Roth described the show as a parasitically spreading, "sprawling, near-gothic accretion of accumulated 'junk,' both installation and performance" and as "a Technicolor jumble cum jungle." 402:. These experiments became the "Globules" series—surreal abstract sculptures situated between the animate and inanimate, which seemingly grew from gallery walls. Critics described them as "fascinating as well as grotesque, monstrous as well as beautiful," and "indecent, ill-mannered and lewd" representations of the "latent potential for the body to run amok." Between 1994 and 1995, she created 515:, a 2,500-square-foot (230 m) mixed-media installation at Sacramento State University. It combined elements of previous work—networks, scrims, commonplace objects, and stitched and wrapped elements that form text—to pay tribute in loosely connected "stations" to people's droll, inconsequential, and sometimes heartbreaking last words, which she solicited and culled from history. 508:. Christopher Miles noted Couzens's conversion of line into form as a tool capable of expressing humor, idiosyncrasy, or vulnerability. He wrote that in their cobbled-together, imprecise method—part bricoleur, part gestural expressionist—they call to mind "a sense of scavenged subsistence frailty and vulnerability," yet also communicate "a vibrance, and a stirring pathos." 456:

Couzens has long been recognized for her draftsmanship, and writers (herself included) consider it to be at the core of her practice, even in later sculptural work. She first gained attention in the late 1980s for large charcoal drawings of headless, armless, torso-like forms floating in amorphous
