Melanie Bernier
“Working from a background in activism and DIY music culture, my practice attends to issues of politics, the mind, and the body with a spirit of resistance. I use the work to challenge common cultural assumptions about subjects including: trash/disposability, beauty, gender, health, and community. Second-hand clothes, trash, performance, aerobics, music, and social practice are among my preferred mediums. Working across them provides a fluidity of expression; one will influence my approach to the others.”
