Writing


My work questions the relationship between text and images, and often uses appropriation to point to the contradictory messages embedded in the contemporary globalized environment, re-presenting familiar artifacts of popular culture to critically comment on those elements as representative of a genre. Feminism, photography theory, and literary theory underwrite my practice.

I am also dedicated to critical writing as art practice. Selected essays appearing in popular and peer-reviewed publications include:
