  • Staged Stills has been featured in London's Bolz magazine, juried winner for the Black and White Spider Awards and was selected by the curator of the Whitney Museum for the Viridian Art Award in New York. The series has been included in many group exhibitions world wide and solo exhibition in Vancouver.
With Staged Stills, I've employed a conventional photocopying machine to craft staged tableaux featuring found objects and myself as the subject. Each image functions as a miniature theater, unveiling distinct portraits. My inspiration spans a wide spectrum, encompassing mass media, mythology, and popular culture. Through these images, I delve into the influence of representations of women on societal stereotypes. By incorporating historical and traditional archetypes and utilizing a corporate culture machine, I aim to create art that addresses feminine issues. This body of work represents a continued exploration of non-traditional photographic equipment, pushing the boundaries to enrich the ways in which we portray identity.
