Changing Images

SIZE: 24 laminated panels 17″ x 24″
Witty photomontages by Cath Tate turn the tables on traditional views of gender roles and the state and demonstrate a variety of ways that images can be changed to create new meanings. The exhibition includes a panel showing the construction of one particular photomontage as an example.
FUNDED: Self-funded. Cath is dependent on sales of postcards -and occasional low reproduction fees.
