Noontime Artist Talk

In her words\, her work opens up “a complex layering of possibility.” Combining elements as diverse as art history and fashion\, her work probes metaphysical issues through a plethora of approa ches: an aesthetic of the sixties\, an interest in gesture\, projections of our imagination into an unknown future\, the sexual representation of wome n in advertising and art history.She graduated from Emily Carr Unive rsity in 2002.
