A Day in the Life of a Bull-Dyke
A Day in the Life of a Bull-Dyke
Straight Sophisticate #3
A Day in the Life of a Bull-Dyke follows a big boned butch into skirmishes, drag, and the arms of a beautiful recruit. The public and private lives of this "strange animal" are explored with the reverence and glee found in the educational exposés like Reefer Madness and bad-boy films like Rebel without a Cause. However, because this fictionalized lesbian history is a first-person narrative, it is filled with all the joy, pain, and ambivalence each of us experiences while negotiating a marginalized identity.

Threshold Economics is surveillance video by the occupant subject. Tinged with a faint influence of radio noir, this cinematic immersion offers a complex of security peepholes, passing shadows, disembodied voices, the music of steam radiators. Installation at SAW Gallery, Ottawa in group show Take Me To Your Leader/Lead Me To Your Taker, May-July 2011; Single-channel exhibition in group show My Winnipeg, la Maison Rouge, Paris, June-August 2011.
