Denise Bibro Fine Art is showing a recent series of multi-media works by Lea Barton through March 6. Barton’s show, titled South, features collage and paint combined with photography and printmaking techniques to create richly layered works that explore the material and political history of the South, and dissect stereotypes of femininity in Antebellum and contemporary Southern culture. Through photographic self-portraits, Barton takes on multiple identities such as the virginal veiled bride, burlesque vixen, prom queen, and Miss America, supported by female ephemera like dressmaker’s patterns, and lace.
