Micheline Gingras presents a body of collages driven by the anxiety, and fear found within the politics of mainstream media. Sourcing her material from the New York Times, Gingras creates images that compress disparate worlds to heighten emotions, revealing theatrical tableaux of reality. Gingras uses visual imagery to address, head-on, the surreal nightmare and confusion of contemporary “news.”
