Part of an on-going series entitled “Un-shrouded”

Showing at Diagonale, centre des arts et des fibres du Québec,

December 5th, 2009. Montréal, Québec.

It would be hard to list all the influences I’ve had in my life that can be considered responsible for the artistic expression I state today. Having been raised in a matriarchal home environment is not the least of these influences. But it would be unreasonable not to place much of this responsibility on the Internet as well, with all of its converging media and democratisation of everything, including art.

I present my work using the combination of my very experienced skills in photography, combined with newly learned skills in sewing and working in 3D. Using fabric with other soft, fibrous materials, the result; visual, sensually tactile, thought-provoking statements of beauty, irony, sadness and humour.

The work as it stands today is a commentary on ongoing concerns of womankind in her ceaseless struggle to shed a stereotypical, objectified image of femininity as it has been depicted by the media, religion, both western and eastern and our global society.
